Abstract

In the escalating nursing shortage, nursing student retention and success (graduation and licensure) is a priority. The entry, progression, graduation, and licensure characteristics of culturally diverse associate degree nursing students (n=112) were assessed to gain insight into nursing student progress and success. In this retrospective study, data collection included student profile characteristics, academic outcomes, type of retention or attrition, program completion length, and licensure. The retention trajectory was distributed between ideal (26%), continuous (24%), and interim/stopout (25%). Attrition consisted of first semester failure (9%), voluntary (14%), and involuntary (2%). Descriptive and inferential analyses suggested several variables that influenced first time pass rate on the nurse licensing exam: course grades in three nursing courses, number of nursing withdrawals or failures (W/F), and nursing course grade average (NCGA). Implications for nurse educators are discussed.

摘要

在日益严重的护理人才短缺问题中，护理专业学生的留存率以及学业成功（毕业和获得执照）是优先事项。对文化背景各异的副学士学位护理专业学生（n = 112）的入学、学习进程、毕业和获得执照的特征进行了评估，以深入了解护理专业学生的学业进展和成功情况。在这项回顾性研究中，数据收集包括学生概况特征、学业成果、留存或流失类型、课程完成时长以及获得执照情况。留存轨迹分布在理想型（26%）、连续型（24%）和过渡/休学型（25%）之间。流失包括第一学期不及格（9%）、自愿退学（14%）和非自愿退学（2%）。描述性和推断性分析表明，有几个变量会影响护士执照考试的首次通过率：三门护理课程的成绩、护理课程退学或不及格的次数（W/F）以及护理课程平均成绩（NCGA）。文中还讨论了对护理教育工作者的启示。
