The impact of community college transfer on entry-level baccalaureate nursing student retention

Sarah E Newton. Nurse Educ. 2008 Jan-Feb.

Abstract

Student attrition is a major issue for entry-level baccalaureate science in nursing (BSN) programs. Where BSN students complete the prerequisite nursing courses may contribute to attrition. Because many BSN students satisfy prerequisite courses at community colleges (CCs), a better understanding regarding how a CC education impacts BSN student retention is needed. The author reviews the literature regarding factors that potentially impact entry-level BSN student retention after CC transfer.
