dc.description.abstract | The study was designed to identify factors associated with nonpersisting students in the Nursing Program at Seminole Junior College. Accordingly, the following research hypotheses were tested for significance at (p < .05): No statistically significant differences exist between persisters and nonpersisters with regard to (1) demographically related characteristics; (2) student perceptions of employment, financial, personal circumstance, program-related, family-related, or commuter problems; (3) student perceptions of peer-group interactions, student interactions with faculty, faculty concern for student development and teaching, academic and intellectual development, or institutional and goal commitments; and (4) ACT scores, Nelson-Denny Reading levels, grades received in required science classes, or overall grade point averages (GPA). | en_US |
