Historically, attrition rates among nursing students in the United States have been a significant problem. However, beyond academic struggles, little is known about the unsuccessful experiences of nursing students. A glimpse into unsuccessful nursing students' perceptions and stressors, other than academic requirements, provides a framework for nurse educators to develop an identification system for at-risk students.
This study aimed to focus on the student perception of failure, beyond academic results. A phenomenological study using narrative inquiry methodology was used for the study.
The purposive sampling approach included thirty-seven students who were unsuccessful in a baccalaureate nursing program. All students were interviewed and analysis was completed.
Our analysis revealed both intrinsic and extrinsic motivators presented as an important factor for each student's success. Although each participant had unique circumstances, common themes emerged. These findings support the need for support that goes beyond support with academic studies.
Holistic admissions processes need to be utilized, ensuring the best candidates, are admitted to nursing programs. Admission criteria should expand beyond grade point average requirements, and possibly include some form of stress management evaluation, or consideration of extrinsic influences.
在美国，护理专业学生的流失率一直是一个严重的问题。然而，除了学术方面的困难，人们对护理专业学生的失败经历知之甚少。了解护理专业学生的失败经历和压力源（不仅仅是学术要求），可以为护理教育工作者提供一个框架，以便为处于危险中的学生建立识别系统。
本研究旨在关注学生对失败的看法，而不仅仅是学业成绩。采用现象学研究方法，使用叙事探究方法进行研究。
采用目的性抽样方法，选取了 37 名未能完成护理学士学位课程的学生。对所有学生进行了访谈，完成了分析。
我们的分析揭示了内在和外在的动机因素对每个学生的成功都很重要。尽管每个参与者的情况都不同，但出现了一些共同的主题。这些发现支持了超越学术支持的支持的必要性。
需要利用整体招生流程，确保最好的候选人被护理专业录取。录取标准应不仅仅局限于平均绩点要求，可能还包括某种形式的压力管理评估，或者考虑外在影响。
