Abstract
The academic persistence of minority nursing students has become a healthcare concern due to health disparities in minority groups. Evidence suggests that receiving healthcare from healthcare providers of the same ethnic or cultural background as the population served reduces health disparities, increases positive health outcomes, and decreases overall healthcare costs. Unlike previous studies of minority nursing students' persistence, this study was conducted solely in minority nursing programs. The problem addressed in this basic qualitative study was that a significant number of minority nursing students were not persisting to graduation in minority nursing programs. The purpose of this study was to provide nurse educators with prelicensure minority nursing students' perceptions of their lived academic experiences in minority nursing programs that lead to the students' decision to complete the nursing program or leave. Bean and Eaton's psychological model of college student retention and Jeffreys' nursing undergraduate retention and success model guided development of the study, research questions, and data analysis.
