Theresa Hargett, Associate Degree Nursing (ADN) assistant program chair on the Holmes Community College Grenada Campus, recently earned a Doctor of Higher Education and Leadership from the University of Mississippi. Hargett's dissertation was titled "Students' Perceptions and Strategies for Success in an Associate Degree Nursing Program."
The focus of this study was to gain understanding of adaptations that led third-semester ADN students to be successful in their first-year. The research questions sought to answer second-year, third-semester students' perceptions of their first-year experiences of faculty interventions and personal strategies applied for success. Understanding adaptations and personal strategies utilized by first-year students could increase efforts to further improve retention of students in their first year of nursing school.
