“…Socialization into nursing education was provided via peer mentoring and was supported by findings. Everett (2020) suggested that faculty should focus on incorporating retention strategies to decrease attrition rates in nursing education in the first-semester classes (Everett, 2020) This study answered several questions. Students pursuing an ADN described their experiences participating in SI as a positive experience.…”

High attrition rates in associate degree nursing (ADN) programs contribute significantly to a nursing shortage in the United States that is expected to worsen. Nursing students find the learning environment stressful, intimidating, and overwhelming, leading to discouragement in the first year of their nursing education. Research is needed to identify specific retention strategies that can offer ADN students additional support and promote academic success. This study aimed to explore first-semester ADN nursing students’ experiences with peer mentoring and peer tutoring provided through supplemental instruction (SI). A basic qualitative study was conducted, and participants’ descriptions of their experiences participating in SI were documented using semi-structured interviews. The findings indicated that students feel SI is a positive experience, but improvement is needed. Exposure to different perspectives through peer mentoring and tutoring improved students’ understanding of course material. Stronger peer relationships created consistency for students. Peer mentoring boosted self-confidence among first-semester students, and attendance at SI sessions increased persistence. The findings support the use of peer mentoring to offer academic assistance to first-semester ADN students.

“…Students' expectations of nursing programs contribute significantly to attrition rates and the lack of intrinsic motivation is a deciding factor in dropping out of nursing programs (Hoeve et al, 2017). Extensive diversity among nursing students complicates personal and academic motivation for program completion including language barriers, work obligations, and family responsibilities (Everett 2020). Motivation, persistence, and success are enhanced when nursing faculty provide social and academic support throughout the nursing program.…”

Establishing a professional identity in nursing school proves challenging as imposter syndrome comes into the equation. There are defining moments when students feel like a “real nurse”, unique and individualized to the scholars. Incorporating nursing core values through interaction with cohort members, patients during clinical rotations and faculty contribute to students formulating nursing students’ professional identity (Pullen, 2021). Nursing faculty play an integral role in supporting students’ journey defining identity, academic success, and program completion. Developing professional identity in nursing school requires the examination of personal values, integrity, and experience attributed to formulating personal and professional identities.

“…Minority students may face many challenges, such as financial issues, inadequate academic preparation, and deficient study skills. These factors may be barriers to the successful completion of an undergraduate nursing program [1,4,7,10]. Furthermore, withdrawing from a nursing program is further amplified when students lack support programs [7,11,12].…”

Faculty success coaches assist first-semester nursing students in developing, implementing, and evaluating strategic plans to achieve short and long-term goals in nursing. A Nursing Student Success Coaching Program was formally developed in a public east coast university for their Associate Degree Nursing Program. It was driven by the need to prepare the first semester to prepare students for the rigors of undergraduate nursing education. Student retention is the primary concern for all nursing faculty [1]. This impacts healthcare and the financial stability of nursing programs [2]. The COVID-19 pandemic magnified the need to increase the number of graduate nurses [3]. A seven-step success coaching process was created to optimize student success during the first semester of nursing. Students met with their faculty success coach with a minimum recommendation of two sessions. A student success coaching program satisfaction survey was administered to students on the 12 th week of each semester, and results have been trending for eleven consecutive semesters (N=719 first-semester nursing students). Data suggests the continuation of this proactive nursing student support strategy. Trended data relating to program completion and NCLEX-RN (National Council Licensure Exam Registered Nurse) pass rates, and program completion rates were also examined after the completion of this study.
