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.

Pensive Nursing Program Director

Accreditation

Nursing programs with low retention rates face accreditation risk.
