In the current nursing shortage, nursing student retention is a priority concern for nurse educators, health care institutions, and the patients they serve. This book presents an organizing framework for understanding student retention, identifying at-risk students, developing diagnostic-prescriptive strategies to facilitate success, and innovations in teaching and educational research. The author's conceptual model for student retention, Nursing Undergraduate Retention and Success, is interwoven throughout, along with essential information for developing, implementing, and evaluating retention strategies. An entire chapter is devoted to how to set up a Student Resource Center. Most chapters conclude with Educator-in-Action vignettes, which help illustrate practical application of strategies discussed. Nurse educators at all levels will find this an important resource.
