Aim: The study aim was to identify and explore relationships among cognitive and noncognitive factors that may contribute to prelicensure baccalaureate nursing students' academic success across their program of study.
Background: Nurse educators are challenged to improve students' academic success. With limited evidence, cognitive and noncognitive factors have been identified in the literature as potential factors that influence academic success and may support students' readiness for practice as new graduate nurses.
Background: Institutions may be experiencing an increasing number of applicants who are underprepared for nursing study, especially institutions with access missions. Early identification and intervention can mitigate risk of attrition and unsuccessful NCLEX-RN outcomes.
Method: An initial study of approximately 1,500 graduates from a multi-campus system led to the development of a comprehensive approach to student success.
Aim: The purpose of this study was to understand nursing faculty's perceptions of meaningful recognition and how it contributes to a caring academic climate.
Background: A supportive, healthy work environment is critical in recruiting and retaining nursing faculty. Research on caring for faculty through meaningful recognition and the impact on the workplace climate is limited.
Aim: The aim of the study was to propose a framework, social determinants of learning™ (SDOL™), an actionable model to address learning disparities and expand learning opportunities to support nursing student diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Background: There is significant growth in the racial and ethnic diversity across students at all levels of higher education, mirroring the growing diversity of the US population. Yet, lower rates of persistence and higher attrition rates among these student groups continue.
