New Careers In Nursing (NCIN) data analysis results were used to inform the development of The Bridge to Nursing Success Program (Bridge). NCIN data revealed that participation in a pre-entry immersion program (PIP) was associated with higher rates of retention and graduation.
The purpose of this article is to 1). describe the findings of the NCIN Scholarship Program in relation to pre-entry immersion (PIP) programs. 2). Discuss and report the development of The Bridge to Nursing Success Program 3). Report results of the Bridgeto Nursing Success Program.
The Bridge to Nursing Success Program (Bridge Program) was developed based on NCIN findings. Two Bridge cohorts (N = 44) of accelerated nursing students participated in a nine-day pre-immersion program (PIP) that included face to face classes and discussions. Post program surveys were administered to assess helpfulness of program content.
Student evaluations revealed an overwhelmingly positive response to the program. Both Bridge participants and non-Bridge participants performed equally through the first semester. Students who participated in the Bridge Program were less likely to fail a course in the first semester, and Bridge participants were six times more likely to be successful in the pathophysiology course.
The study provides an evidence-based PIP model that offers academic support and coping strategies prior to an accelerated nursing program. Long-term follow up of the participating cohorts may reveal whether there is a relationship to this PIP program and persistence through to graduation.
新职业护理（NCIN）数据分析结果被用于为成功桥接护理计划（Bridge）的开发提供信息。NCIN 数据显示，参加入学前沉浸式课程（PIP）与更高的保留率和毕业率相关。
本文的目的是 1）描述与入学前沉浸式课程（PIP）相关的 NCIN 奖学金计划的调查结果。2）讨论并报告成功桥接护理计划的开发。3）报告成功桥接护理计划的结果。
基于 NCIN 的发现，开发了成功桥接护理计划（Bridge 计划）。两个加速护理学生的 Bridge 队列（N=44）参加了为期九天的预沉浸课程（PIP），包括面对面课程和讨论。课程结束后进行了问卷调查，以评估课程内容的帮助程度。
学生评估显示对该计划的回应非常积极。通过第一学期，Bridge 参与者和非 Bridge 参与者的表现相当。参加 Bridge 计划的学生在第一学期挂科的可能性较小，并且在病理生理学课程中成功的可能性高出六倍。
该研究提供了一个基于证据的 PIP 模型，为加速护理课程提供学术支持和应对策略。对参与队列的长期跟踪可能会揭示这种 PIP 计划与坚持到毕业之间是否存在关系。
