Abstract Overview
Mixed design, descriptive study
Approximately 100 nursing students
Data collected using anonymous survey technique
King’s Theory of Goal Attainment
Nursing programs can benefit from findings

Why is a BSN important?
Higher functioning in critical skills:
Critical thinking
Communication
Leadership
Assessment
Teaching
Counseling
Case Management
Health Promotion
(Rosseter, 2012)
![Page 4: Reasons Identified by Associate Degree Nursing Students for Planning to Attend a Baccalaureate Completion Nursing Program Within Five Years of Graduation.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081515/56649d9d5503460f94a863c7/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Encouraging more BSNs
Very few ADN RNs advance to BSN
BSN RNs have better patient outcomes
ANA, NLN, AACN support BSN as entry-level nursing
BSN education equals higher level of critical clinical reasoning
![Page 5: Reasons Identified by Associate Degree Nursing Students for Planning to Attend a Baccalaureate Completion Nursing Program Within Five Years of Graduation.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081515/56649d9d5503460f94a863c7/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Background of the Problem
Three pre-licensure pathways for RNs Diploma Associate degree Baccalaureate degree
Same NCLEX-RN
80% overlap in RN responsibilities in ADN versus BSN
Other healthcare professionals require a master’s degree
![Page 6: Reasons Identified by Associate Degree Nursing Students for Planning to Attend a Baccalaureate Completion Nursing Program Within Five Years of Graduation.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081515/56649d9d5503460f94a863c7/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
To identify reasons why second year associate degree nursing students are planning to or not to pursue their baccalaureate degree within five years.Statement of the Problem
![Page 7: Reasons Identified by Associate Degree Nursing Students for Planning to Attend a Baccalaureate Completion Nursing Program Within Five Years of Graduation.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081515/56649d9d5503460f94a863c7/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
What reasons were identified by final semester, second year ADN students as contributing to their decision to obtain their BSN within 5 years? Research Question
![Page 8: Reasons Identified by Associate Degree Nursing Students for Planning to Attend a Baccalaureate Completion Nursing Program Within Five Years of Graduation.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081515/56649d9d5503460f94a863c7/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Need for the Study
A gap in the current literature why ADN students do not choose RN-BSN Programs
Insight to encourage current ADN students to pursue a BSN
Advancement of professional nursing
![Page 9: Reasons Identified by Associate Degree Nursing Students for Planning to Attend a Baccalaureate Completion Nursing Program Within Five Years of Graduation.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081515/56649d9d5503460f94a863c7/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Significance of the Problem
2010 IOM “The Future of Nursing” recommends at least 80% of nursing workforce have BSNs
2008-2010 data from US Dept. of HHS: only 44.6% are BSN prepared
RNs with a BSN are prepared to problem solve at a higher level
RNs with a BSN have better patient outcomes
![Page 10: Reasons Identified by Associate Degree Nursing Students for Planning to Attend a Baccalaureate Completion Nursing Program Within Five Years of Graduation.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081515/56649d9d5503460f94a863c7/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Assumptions
Student nurses who participate will give honest answers to survey questions.
Findings will be based solely on the perspective of the student nurses.
King’s Theory of Goal Attainment provides a sound theoretical foundation for this study.
![Page 11: Reasons Identified by Associate Degree Nursing Students for Planning to Attend a Baccalaureate Completion Nursing Program Within Five Years of Graduation.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081515/56649d9d5503460f94a863c7/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Limitations
Small sample size
Data from one geographic location in NW PA
Sample from one private Catholic university
Sample size may not be depictive of the focus as a whole
Participating student nurses may not represent the population whole
King’s Theory of Goal Attainment may not be an accurate reflection of the reasons identified

Overview
Patient outcomes drive the nursing profession
Schools have adapted to healthcare needs
No real change in practice for BSN has occurred
Emphasis needs to be placed on the importance of a BSN to be a professional nurse.
![Page 14: Reasons Identified by Associate Degree Nursing Students for Planning to Attend a Baccalaureate Completion Nursing Program Within Five Years of Graduation.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081515/56649d9d5503460f94a863c7/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Comparison of Baccalaureate and Non-baccalaureate Nursing Programs
Nursing supervisors often do not rate performance of BSNs and ADNs differently Less perceived value of BSN Contradicts nursing literature
If nursing supervisors do not value BSN-prepared RNs, non-baccalaureate RNs are less likely to value BSN
Health care facilities with increased BSN RNs have better patient outcomes
![Page 15: Reasons Identified by Associate Degree Nursing Students for Planning to Attend a Baccalaureate Completion Nursing Program Within Five Years of Graduation.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081515/56649d9d5503460f94a863c7/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
The Educational Impact on Nursing
Aiken, Clarke, Cheung, Sloane, and Silber (2003): 10% increase in the proportion of BSN RNs equaled a 5%
decrease in patient mortality and odds of failure to rescue
Friese, Lake, Aiken, Silber, and Sochalski (2008): Increased BSN RNs had lower odds of patient death and lower
levels of failure to rescue
With RN-BSN Programs, a culturally, socio-economically and ethnically diverse RN workforce is possible
Recognition of importance of RN-BSN Programs from nursing governing bodies
![Page 16: Reasons Identified by Associate Degree Nursing Students for Planning to Attend a Baccalaureate Completion Nursing Program Within Five Years of Graduation.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022081515/56649d9d5503460f94a863c7/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
RN-BSN Programs: Benefits, Incentives, and Barriers
Improved patient outcomes
Opportunity for all RNs to be BSN prepared through RN-BSN Programs
70% of RNs are diploma or ADN, only 15% currently will achieve BSN or higher
RNs who felt likely to have success in RN-BSN Programs were more likely to pursue BSN
Incentives:• Right time in life• Options• Personal goal achievement• Professional identity• Peer encouragement• User-friendly RN-BSN Program
Barriers:• Time• Fear• Lack of recognition for
experiential knowledge• No differential treatment• Negative past school experiences

Imogene King’s Theory of Goal Attainment: Application to the Study
The “action” of nursing students to consider options like RN-BSN Programs
Optimum use of resources to reach full potential
RN-BSN Programs can influence RNs to optimally use resources and reach their full potential
