Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the progress and outcomes of an accelerated Bachelor of Nursing program.
  • To compare the academic and clinical performance of accelerated BN students with traditional BN students.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of students' previous degree backgrounds.
  • Mid-year focus group discussions with accelerated students.
  • Comparison of academic and clinical results between accelerated and traditional students.

Main Results:

  • Accelerated students were highly motivated but experienced significant stress, particularly in self-directed learning.
  • Most accelerated students achieved academic and clinical scores comparable to traditional students.
  • Accelerated students outperformed traditional students in six out of seven final-year subjects.

Conclusions:

  • The accelerated BN program is an effective educational model for graduate entry into nursing.
  • Despite challenges, accelerated BN students achieve successful academic and clinical outcomes.
  • The PBL approach in accelerated nursing programs can yield excellent results.
