CHAPTER 2
REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE
This literature review is organized into three major sections: 1) a review of
theoretical frameworks for traditional and nontraditional college student retention; 2) a
review of the structure of nursing education and nursing student retention; and 3) a
review of the purpose and effects of study skills courses on student success in higher
education.
Section 1
The theoretical framework for this study is based on the models researchers
have developed to identify and analyze the many variables that impact a student’s
decision to persist in college. This section will first present the findings from the most
influential work on traditional college student retention by Spady (1971), Tinto
(1975), Bean (1980), Pascarella and Terenzini (1980) and Astin (1975). Secondly, this
section will describe the alterations to the traditional frameworks proposed to be more
suitable for nontraditional college students.
Section 2
The literature addressing the topic of nursing education and nursing student
retention are the basis on which this section is organized. First, an overview of the
structure of nursing education will be provided, along with how the structure has
changed in the past 25 years. Secondly, a description of typical registered nursing
curriculums and students will be presented. Lastly, the problem of the national nursing
