Transitioning veterans to nursing careers: A model program.
BACKGROUND: A commitment to increase the enrollment, retention and educational success of United States veterans admitted to a baccalaureate degree nursing program was established through the support of a grant received from HRSA in collaboration with the US Departments of Defense and Veteran Affairs.
METHOD: Challenges encountered by the student veterans were identified and programs of mentorship, tutoring, equine therapy and interface with services offered by the University Office of Veteran Affairs were developed.
RESULTS: Thirty-two student veterans provided positive feedback about their perceptions of academic and personal support provided during their program. Sixteen faculty and staff also described positive experiences about working with the student veteran population.
CONCLUSION: The continuous assessment of all program elements indicates that the program is meeting its intended outcomes and serves the purpose of providing the opportunity for returning veterans to choose nursing as a professional healthcare career.
