BACKGROUND
Increased representation of Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN)-prepared nurses improves health and reduces costs. Fewer rural U.S. nurses have BSN degrees compared with the national average. RN-to-BSN programs provide an opportunity to increase the number of BSN-prepared rural nurses. However, the number of these programs targeting rural students is unknown.
METHOD
Directors of RN-to-BSN programs were surveyed regarding program characteristics and efforts to target rural learners. Using mail and online return options, the response rate was 31.3%.
RESULTS
Only 38% of programs targeted rural RNs for recruitment. Supports for rural student recruitment and retention, including partnerships with community colleges, rural clinical placements, and online offerings, were limited in number and/or scope.
CONCLUSION
RN-to-BSN programs with the capacity to recruit and retain rural learners may help increase the number of BSN-prepared rural nurses. Increased collaboration among stakeholders will support rural nurses in continuing their education. [J Nurs Educ. 2020;59(10):557-565.].
背景
增加护理科学学士（BSN）护士的比例可以改善健康状况并降低成本。与全国平均水平相比，美国农村地区的护士拥有 BSN 学位的人数较少。注册护士到 BSN 课程为增加 BSN 培训的农村护士人数提供了机会。但是，针对农村学生的这些课程的数量尚不清楚。
方法
对注册护士到 BSN 课程的负责人进行了有关课程特征和针对农村学习者的努力的调查。通过邮件和在线回复选项，响应率为 31.3％。
结果
只有 38％的课程针对农村注册护士进行招生。支持农村学生的招生和保留，包括与社区学院、农村临床实习和在线课程的合作，数量和/或范围有限。
结论
有能力招募和保留农村学习者的注册护士到 BSN 课程可能有助于增加 BSN 培训的农村护士人数。利益相关者之间的更多合作将支持农村护士继续接受教育。
