Area of Science:

  • Nursing Education
  • Higher Education
  • Health Workforce Studies

Background:

  • Nursing program attrition is a significant issue impacting individuals, faculty, and the healthcare system.
  • Monitoring attrition rates is a key performance indicator for nursing programs.
  • The influence of initial career choice on program completion remains under-researched.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the impact of selecting nursing as a primary career aspiration on baccalaureate program completion rates.
  • To identify factors influencing attrition in undergraduate nursing education.

Main Methods:

  • A six-year longitudinal cohort study followed 352 undergraduate nursing students in Australia.
  • Data were collected from a baseline survey of 357 students entering a Bachelor of Nursing program in 2004.

Main Results:

  • Students who chose nursing as their first preference were almost twice as likely to complete the program (OR: 1.99).
  • First-choice nursing students were older (26.8 vs. 20.1 years) and more likely to have nursing-related employment (35% vs. 2%).
  • Male students and those working over 16 hours/week during semesters were less likely to complete the program.

Conclusions:

  • First career choice is a significant predictor of nursing program completion.
  • Understanding student motivations is vital for targeted recruitment and retention strategies.
  • These findings aid in projecting workforce entry and improving student support systems.
