The purpose of this study was to investigate and understand the driving forces behind the successful recruitment and retention of African Americans in Bachelor of Science Nursing (BSN) programs. For this qualitative constructivist grounded-theory study, 16 graduates were interviewed using semistructured questions from an interview guide. Nine themes and three categories emerged from the data. The findings revealed that the unique characteristics of African Americans in their successful recruitment and retention in a BSN program was a process of relying on their inner skills and dispositions to redefine their learning context and embrace their external support systems. This study offers educational leaders a new order of priority for recruitment and retention initiatives and provides useful strategies for nurse educators to redesign their learning approaches to promote the success of African Americans in BSN programs. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
