Social Determinants of Health and College Persistence Risk in Accelerated Undergraduate Nursing Students.

Social determinants of health have been identified as factors influencing resilience, but little data exist regarding their influence on nursing students' persistence to graduation. Nursing schools must address interventions to promote persistence. This nonexperimental quantitative study explored the impact of social determinants in prelicensure nursing.

Effective Strategies for Teaching Evidence-Based Practice in Undergraduate Nursing Programs.

Background: Literature shows that nursing program graduates cannot apply skills related to evidence-based practice (EBP) on graduation. However, the influence of EBP on quality and safety in nursing is well documented and shows that innovative strategies for teaching the content need to be explored.

Problem: Teaching EBP in nursing programs is challenging due to students' attitudes and lack of engagement.
