To describe and evaluate the use of a "Success in Learning: Individualized Pathways Program (SLIPP)" to retain and graduate disadvantaged and ethnically diverse nursing students.
A summative evaluative design was used with a population of 77 disadvantaged and ethnically diverse students who were accepted into a pre-entrance preparation quarter. The program based on an academic success model, included six pre-entrance classes, academic, social, and financial support, and seven faculty development workshops. Program outcomes were studied using student records, survey results, and interviews.
Following the pre-entrance quarter, all 77 students were accepted into the baccalaureate nursing program, 90.9% graduated with either a Bachelor in Science (75.3%) or Associate in Science (15.6%), and 98.6% of the graduates passed the state board registered nursing examination.
Outcomes are discussed in light of similar programs.
Underprepared disadvantaged and ethnically diverse students can successfully become registered nurses.
Educators and recruiters for nursing practice should accept/hire culturally diverse students/nurses to expand the ethnic diversity of the nursing workforce to meet the needs of culturally diverse clients. Research is needed to determine the classes/components and length of the pre-entrance preparation program to successfully enhance success.
描述并评估“学习成功：个性化途径计划（SLIPP）”在保留和培养弱势及族裔多样化护理学生方面的使用情况。
采用总结性评估设计，以 77 名弱势和族裔多样化的学生为研究对象，这些学生已被录取进入入学前预备季度。该计划基于学术成功模式，包括六个入学前课程、学术、社会和经济支持，以及七个教师发展研讨会。使用学生记录、调查结果和访谈来研究计划结果。
在入学前季度之后，所有 77 名学生均被护理学士学位课程录取，90.9% 的学生以理学士（75.3%）或副学士（15.6%）毕业，98.6%的毕业生通过了州注册护士考试。
根据类似计划讨论了结果。
准备不足的弱势和族裔多样化学生可以成功成为注册护士。
护理实践的教育者和招聘人员应接受/雇用文化多样化的学生/护士，以扩大护理人员队伍的族裔多样性，以满足文化多样化客户的需求。需要研究确定入学前准备计划的课程/组成部分和长度，以成功提高成功率。
