Concept Analysis

Background:

Traditional metrics for nursing student success focus narrowly on program completion and licensure exam passage.
Holistic indicators, including student well-being and self-care, have been historically underemphasized.
A comprehensive definition is needed to capture the multifaceted nature of nursing student success.

Purpose of the Study:

To develop a comprehensive, holistic definition of nursing student success.
To expand the understanding of success beyond traditional academic and licensure outcomes.
To inform educational practices and accreditation standards.

Main Methods:

Concept analysis using Walker and Avant's eight-step process.
Systematic examination of the concept of nursing student success.
Synthesis of literature to identify defining attributes.

Main Results:

Nursing student success is defined holistically.
Key attributes include achieving performance standards, acquiring nursing knowledge and skills, attaining educational goals, and experiencing personal thriving.
This holistic definition moves beyond mere completion and licensure.

Conclusions:

Academic programs and accrediting bodies should adopt a holistic view of nursing student success.
Incorporating student well-being and self-care mastery is crucial for a comprehensive definition.
This approach supports the development of well-rounded, successful nursing professionals.
