AIM
The aim of this concept analysis was to develop a comprehensive definition of nursing student success.
BACKGROUND
Nursing student success has traditionally been viewed as timely program completion and passing the licensure exam on the first attempt. Little consideration has been given to holistic indicators of success that are inclusive of student well-being and mastery of self-care skills.
METHOD
Nursing student success was examined using Walker and Avant's eight-step process of concept analysis.
RESULTS
This concept analysis defined nursing student success in a holistic manner characterized by the achievement of performance standards, acquisition of nursing knowledge, skills, and competencies, and attainment of educational goals while experiencing a state of personal thriving.
CONCLUSION
This concept analysis highlights the need for academic programs and accrediting bodies to embrace holistic perspectives of nursing student success that are inclusive of student well-being and mastery of self-care skills.
