The faculty voice: teaching in accelerated second baccalaureate degree nursing programs
Background:
Although accelerated second baccalaureate degree in nursing (ASBSN) programs are growing, little is known about how faculty help ASBSN students to learn.
Method:
In this descriptive qualitative study, faculty in 25 ASBSN programs in 11 midwestern states were asked to describe factors about their teaching. These focused on a comparison with traditional education and an in-depth examination of teaching strategies.
Results:
Faculty (N = 129) responded to six open-ended questions on the online survey; a thematic analysis resulted in 24 themes. Themes included Appreciate the Adult Learner With Previous Experiences; Connect Students With Structured Professional Activities; Role Model Professional Learning; and I Like It, I Love It, I Enjoy the Challenge of It.
Conclusion:
Because findings are from the faculty perspective, they enhance understanding of this teaching experience. Implications for faculty development and further research are included.
