“…Th e number of students who do not end up enrolled nursing studies ranged up to 30% 1 . Th e most common reasons for non-completion of the study are a failure during the study, personal and family reasons, wrong choice of career, unrealized expectations about the study, and nursing and fi nancial diffi culties 2,3 . It is expected that nurses during education acquire the necessary knowledge, skills and attitudes, i.e.…”

SUMMARY -Th e aim of this study was to determine the attitudes of nursing students towards nursing, and changes in their attitudes during the study. A quantitative study with pre-post survey was conducted among nursing students enrolled in fi rst study year in the academic year 2012/2013 (N=115) and third study year in the academic year 2014/2015 (N=106). Students voluntarily and anonymously completed a questionnaire consisting of demographic information and the Nursing Image Questionnaire, which includes 30 items that assess how an individual looks at the roles and tasks, values, social stereotypes of nursing, professionalism and performance of nurses. Th e results indicated that students had positive attitude towards nursing at the beginning and during the study. During the study, there was a positive change in attitudes in the majority of items of the questionnaire, whereas at the end of the study lower attitude was expressed in only four items. Th e study conducted among nursing students indicated that students' attitudes changed during the study, infl uenced by the acquisition of knowledge and skills. During the study, students acquire a more realistic perception of nursing, and adoption of professional values emerges.

“…nurses), variable age is positively cor related with the results achieved during studies. 13,[32][33][34][39][40][41][42] Generally, in case of older students, significantly better results of learning are noted as opposed to students who began their studies under the age of 26, regard less of any additional qualifications on entry. 32,40 In the studies on the reasons of attrition at the nursing depart ment, it was the young age that was pointed to as a negative predictor.…”

“…31 Also, in case of a highly feminised profession such as nursing, it was observed that men bear a sig nificantly higher risk of dropping out than women. 13,[32][33][34] On the other hand, studies performed among the participants of a military medical programme show that it is women who present a greater attrition risk than men (OR=2.4). Also, when learning at a dental school, a tendency is observed among men to achieve higher scores in the practical tests and better grade averages, however, there is no data on the subject of risk evalua tion in this field of studies.…”

A model of logistic regression was used to evaluate predictive factors that are of potential influence on the risk of the delayed graduation or attrition. Results: For the model with the outcome variable "timely/delayed graduation" it was found that men bear nearly twice as big a risk of a delayed graduation than women (OR=1.978; P=0.004). It was also observed that students recruited within a new system of admission have almost 10 times greater chances for a delayed graduation as opposed students from the years recruited on the basis of old regulations (OR=10.224; P<0.001). Moreover, for a regression model based on the outcome variable" timely graduation/attrition", it was also noted that men bear a greater risk of attrition than women (OR=3.621; P<0.001) and that students recruited within a new system as opposed to the old one (OR=23.734; P<0.001). Also, good predictive ability was found for both recruitment criteria when evaluating the risk of attrition (OR for biology and chemistry was 0.974 and 0.958, respectively). Additionally, it was observed the risk of attrition and failure to complete studies was age on entry (OR=1.154; P=0.05). Conclusion: The obtained results of the predictive analysis allow determining a profile of a student who bears a high risk of attrition during studies at the pharmacy department: man who began his studies at least one after completing secondary school and achieved a score in chemistry and biology below the average compared to other candidates accepted to this faculty.

“…It is diffi cult to assess what the picture of attrition for BME nursing students might be nationally because data by ethnicity was not reported. Despite sustained political, professional, and educational concern attrition rates on a national scale vary as much as 5% to 50% (Mulholland, Anionwu, Atkins, Tappern, & Franks, 2008).…”

By the end of 2013, all programs leading to the registered nurse qualification in the United Kingdom will be at the bachelor's degree level. There is concern that all‐degree nursing education might threaten the diversity of the future nursing workforce in the United Kingdom.This article reports on a qualitative pilot study exploring the critical issues for access, recruitment, and retention of Black and minority ethnic (BME) students in U.K. nursing degree programs from the students' perspective. The study utilized action research, and this article reports on the first two stages of the action research cycle, problem identification and identification of actions. The data were collected through focus groups and interviews with BME students and then analyzed with iterative thematic analysis.The objective was to inform an action framework for U.K. universities devising access, recruitment, admission, and retention practice for BME students when U.K. nurse training becomes all degree.
