Turning Fading Dreams into Brilliant Futures

Nursing Student Retention Is a National Concern

Each year, thousands of students have to give up on their dream of becoming a nurse. For all kinds of reasons — and despite the high quality of their program and the dedication of their faculty — these students don’t progress through nursing school.

The Effects of Nursing Student Attrition Are Substantial

When nursing students leave, the damage encompasses:

Stressed Nurse

Nursing Pipeline

Loss of potential graduates means that fewer new nurses enter a healthcare workforce that desperately needs them.
Pensive Nursing School Applicant

School Credibility

Applicants look to program statistics to help select a nursing school, and programs with low retention aren’t as appealing.
Empty Classroom

Program Viability

When students don’t complete a program, class sizes shrink. This limits revenue, staffing and overall resources.

Accreditation
