The projected shortfall in the number of RNs supports the need to identify variables impacting nursing student program completion. Studies are lacking as to variables that affect attrition and program completion of readmitted nursing students.
This study examined academic and nonacademic variables that impact attrition and program completion of readmitted associate degree nursing students.
Survey and record review yielded student characteristics, support for learners, student effort, and student outcome measures that predicted attrition and program completion.
Findings suggest that students earning a final grade of B+ or higher in the nursing fundamentals course complete the program. In addition, readmitted nursing students who were 33 years or older had decreased odds of completing the program by 1.44% for each year of age. The study also pointed to nonacademic variables that impacted attrition.
Measures to improve program completion of readmitted nursing students are included.
预计注册护士数量短缺，这支持了确定影响护理学生课程完成的变量的必要性。关于影响重新录取护理学生流失和课程完成的变量的研究还很缺乏。
本研究调查了影响重新录取的副学士学位护理学生流失和课程完成的学术和非学术变量。
调查和记录回顾产生了学生特征、学习者支持、学生努力和学生结果衡量标准，这些标准预测了流失和课程完成情况。
研究结果表明，在护理学基础课程中获得 B+或更高成绩的学生完成了课程。此外，年龄在 33 岁或以上的重新录取护理学生，每增加一岁，完成课程的几率就会降低 1.44%。该研究还指出了影响流失的非学术变量。
提出了提高重新录取护理学生课程完成率的措施。
