The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and the American Association of Colleges of Nursing developed the New Careers in Nursing (NCIN) program to address the nursing shortage, increase workforce diversity, and raise the profession's educational level. The program provided scholarships to second-degree underrepresented or economically disadvantaged (UED) students attending an accelerated nursing program to earn a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree.
A midwestern university received three academic-year cycles of NCIN funding. The program's model, resources, and functioning are described.
The NCIN provided exceptional financial and program support that received high marks from participants. During the three award cycles, 20 UED scholars graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree. Nineteen of the 20 scholars passed the NCLEX-RN on the first attempt.
While the NCIN program has ended, nursing school administrators and faculty wishing to promote UED student success should consider using the program's model and resources as the basis for their own program. [J Nurs Educ. 2018;57(3):178-183.].
罗伯特·伍德·约翰逊基金会和美国护理学院协会共同开展了护理新职业（NCIN）项目，以应对护理人才短缺问题，增加劳动力多样性，并提高该专业的教育水平。该项目为参加加速护理课程以获得护理学理学学士学位的非传统背景或经济弱势（UED）的第二学位学生提供奖学金。
一所中西部大学获得了三个学年周期的NCIN资金。描述了该项目的模式、资源和运作情况。
NCIN提供了卓越的资金和项目支持，获得了参与者的高度评价。在三个奖励周期中，20名UED学者获得了护理学理学学士学位。20名学者中有19名首次参加考试就通过了NCLEX-RN。
虽然NCIN项目已经结束，但希望促进UED学生成功的护理学院管理人员和教师应考虑将该项目的模式和资源作为自己项目的基础。[《护理教育杂志》。2018年；57(3):178 - 183。]
