Nurse anesthesiology programs continue to search for the best student traits and/or qualities to determine success in transitioning through a program of study and passing the National Certification Examination. These traits are not always quantitative in nature, but qualitative. Students face many stressors in transitioning through a nurse anesthesiology training program, and how students cope with those stressors may clue in the nurse anesthesia educators as to what determines success. This pilot study aimed to determine whether grit, or perseverance toward meeting a long-term goal, was a trait worth considering in determining student success. To that end, this cross-sectional quantitative correlational pilot study conducted in two nurse anesthesiology programs found that one grit subscale--Perseverance of Effort--was statistically significant in determining student success as defined herein.
