Abstract

Abstract: This study examined the extent to which selected student profile characteristics predict success for a sample of prelicensure BSN students at a Midwestern university. The results indicated that both nontraditional students and students with English as an additional language are less likely to experience early program success and on-time completion while nontraditional students were more likely to experience National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX-RN(R)) success. Results from the study were used to develop interventions specifically designed to promote success in diverse student populations at the research site.
