Retention of nursing students is important. A qualitative phenomenological study was conducted to explore the lived experiences of 11 successful returner nursing students from 1 associate degree program in the southeastern United States.

Findings related to challenges highlight the importance of facilitating integration and ensuring clear communication with nursing students.
