Abstract
With the implementation of five remediation strategies immediately after the first failed exam in a pharmacology course, this quality improvement study demonstrated an increase in retention of at-risk associate degree nursing students. Unit exam scores and course failure rates were measured before and after implementation. Twelve of 14 students who completed the remediation demonstrated a statistically significant increase in scores from the first failed exam to the last exam taken. The mean increase was 17.3 percentage points (p < .0001, 95 percent confidence interval [13.3, 20.9]). Cohen's d, which equaled 0.604, indicated a significant increase in course pass rates.
