Aim: The purpose of this review is to synthesize what is known about voluntary attrition from baccalaureate nursing education.
Background: Understanding the reasons behind elective, voluntary attrition from nursing programs can help maximize resources and graduate more nurses into the workforce.
Method: An integrative review of the literature was conducted using the search strategy outlined by Whittemore and Knafl. The validated Mixed-Methods Appraisal Tool was used to assess the quality of the studies found in the search.
Results: Ten studies met review criteria. Studies showed that academic and emotional underpreparedness, economic challenges, feelings of isolation, differences between perceptions of nursing and the realities of professional practice, and incongruence with learning objectives in clinical settings led to dissatisfaction.
Conclusion: It is important to educate the public about nursing as a rigorous college major. The realities of nursing school, feelings of acceptance, and academic preparedness must be addressed by educators.

Early childhood home visitation (ECHV) in the United States is a voluntary service providing health and social support to low-income families who are experiencing, or at risk for experiencing, adversities such as adolescent pregnancy, poverty, and child maltreatment.

Of particular concern are the families likely to encounter adversity but are unable to access services due to rigid criteria for participation.
