Abstract
Accelerated second-degree baccalaureate nursing (ABSN) programs are continuing to increase rapidly as a strategy to address a critical nursing shortage. The ABSN student profile differs from traditional entry-level nursing students, with some studies reporting higher attrition rates for ABSN students. Costs to students and nursing programs associated with program disruption can be high. The purpose was to identify academic risk factors and develop strategies to promote academic success for timely progression to graduation and licensure. Two consecutive descriptive correlational studies were conducted on sequential ABSN cohorts in a nursing program in northern New England. Data revealed modifiable factors that put students at risk of program nonprogression or dismissal. Evidence-based, targeted, individualized academic support interventions were developed and implemented. Strategies to promote academic success for ABSN students identified as at-risk have been shown to be effective.
