Table 2 Attrition rates (and success rates, if given) of graduates entering BNursing courses as accelerated students
From: Attrition and success rates of accelerated students in nursing courses: a systematic review
Country | Subjects | Attrition and success rates | Reference/s |
|---|---|---|---|
US | Compared attrition and success rates from 13 month accelerated second-degree nursing program (226 students) with separate traditional program over five year period (204 students). | Attrition rates, 3 % for graduates, 6-7 % attrition rate for traditional students. The NCLEX pass rates were higher for accelerated than the traditional students. | [21] |
US | Measured attrition rates and performance of 363 graduates in accelerated program over 5 years | Attrition rates of about 14 % for second degree students and of the remaining students 88 % passed NCLEX on first attempt. Compared with 22 % attrition rate for traditional students. | [22] |
US | Between 157 and 168 applicants were interviewed per year for accelerated entry over four years, and between 11 and 14 were denied entry | Attrition rates of students in the accelerated program was 10–15 %; averaged 20 to 30 % for traditional students | [23] |
US | Initially compared graduated (71) in accelerated second-degree nursing program with traditional program (76 students) over six year period. Subsequent study of further 81 graduates. | Attrition rates of about 10 % from both courses. Passing rates for the NCLEX-RN were 84 and 85 %. | |
US | Compared attrition and success rates from 13 month accelerated second-degree nursing program (52 graduates) with a traditional program (172 students). | Attrition rates, 12 % for graduates, not given for traditional students. Passing rates were similar in the courses (~90 %) and in NCLEX. | [26] |
US | 39 graduate students over 2 years | Graduation rates (combined attrition and success) rates of 29 and 50 % in 1st and 2nd years, respectively. Commented that this was much higher than for the traditional program. | [27] |
