The student/faculty relationship

Abstract

Factors contribute to low academic achievement and frustration among African American students, which, in turn, negatively affect their persistence (Simmons, 2010). A phenomenological approach was utilized to explore African American female nursing students' perceptions of faculty-student relationships and their implications for persistence.
