Area of Science:

  • Nursing Education
  • Higher Education for Nurses

Background:

  • Registered Nurse to Bachelor of Science in Nursing (RN-BSN) students possess unique educational needs.
  • Many RN-BSN programs may not adequately address the prior expertise of nursing students.
  • Student success in degree completion programs is contingent upon program design.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To emphasize the importance of designing RN-BSN programs with student needs in mind.
  • To highlight the benefits of tailoring educational programs for experienced nursing professionals.
  • To explore how program design impacts student retention and learning in RN-BSN programs.

Main Methods:

  • This study is a conceptual analysis based on existing literature and educational principles.
  • It reviews the characteristics and requirements of RN-BSN degree completion students.
  • The focus is on the principles of andragogy (adult learning) applied to nursing education.

Main Results:

  • RN-BSN students often bring significant clinical expertise that should be acknowledged.
  • Programs that recognize and build upon existing knowledge enhance student engagement.
  • Tailored curricula improve the likelihood of program completion and knowledge acquisition.

Conclusions:

  • RN-BSN program success is significantly influenced by curriculum design that respects student experience.
  • Personalized educational approaches foster greater student retention and academic achievement.
  • Nursing education programs must adapt to the specific needs of adult learners for optimal outcomes.
