Approximately 70% of practicing registered nurses (RNs) are educated at the associate degree or diploma (vocational training) level with only 15% moving on to achieve a degree past the associate level. The purpose of this phenomenological research is to study the lived experiences of registered nurses who obtained an associate degree in nursing and, while working in a health care setting, returned to school to attain a baccalaureate degree in nursing (BSN). Data gathered during individual interviews will provide documentation of the benefits of attaining a BSN as well as identifying barriers that associate degree RNs must overcome to pursue a BSN education. 2010-12-17T08:00:00Z text application/pdf http://scholarworks.uno.edu/td/105 http://scholarworks.uno.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1104&context=td University of New Orleans Theses and Dissertations ScholarWorks@UNO RN non-traditional student RN-to-BSN college choice model Phenomenological research registered nurses |
