An innovative role that addresses these complexities and mitigates issues facing today's nursing student was developed. Purpose: The Personal Faculty Mentor (PFM) role was developed to provide one, specific point of contact in an effort to support students throughout their MSN journey by completing new student orientation, individualized student outreach, frequent personal communication, and development of success plans. The PFM role also supports the faculty or instructor role by providing additional support and outreach with student concerns (low participation or scores). The overall purpose of the PFM is to improve student outcomes including pass rates, persistence rates, and satisfaction. Methods: Within the University's Master of Science in Nursing Accelerated Track (MSN AT) Advanced Generalist and Clinical Nurse Leader (CNL), the PFM role was implemented to support student success. The MSN AT has flexible due dates for assignments which lends for more intensive student support. Results: Since the PFM role has been in place since program inception (July 2019), persistence and program completion are on average 12% higher, as high as 29%, with those students who actively participate with their PFM. Through survey, students report high satisfaction with the PFM role and attribute part of their success to this supportive role. Each session, students who actively participate with their PFM have better persistence than those who do not. Limitations: While the anecdotal feedback and positive outcomes are noteworthy, this strategy did not involve an empirical research investigation. As a result, a causative relationship may not be concrete. There is clearly an improvement in the retention and persistence of students who engage regularly with the PFM; however, there are additional variables that may be impacting the outcomes that would be helpful to identify. Conclusions / Implications for Practice Student support promotes success. The role of the PFM provides individualized, student-centered support. Students who participate and interact with their PFM are more likely to be successful in the MSN AT. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: research tables/charts Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
