Abstract
Accelerated baccalaureate nursing programs (ABSN) have grown to meet the needs of the health care industry. These short-term programs attract unique groups of learners that have achieved baccalaureate degrees in other disciplines and are recruited to an intense, fast-paced program that differs from a traditional baccalaureate nursing program. The significance of the topic of retaining, assisting, and success of second-degree learners in an accelerated baccalaureate nursing program is critical to the nursing education specialty. Related factors influencing perseverance need to be better understood to improve academic success among ABSN students. The study addressed a gap in the literature pertaining to what strategies repeat students describe they used to overcome obstacles and complete ABSN courses.
