摘要

One Northeastern Community College (NCC) nursing program addressed the need for more graduate nurses by increasing the retention rates of their already-admitted and qualified nursing student population. Increasing the English as a Second Language (ESL) student population's retention rate was paramount because less than 40% of this population had been successful in completing the nursing program (Schuler, 2009). Applying Heifetz's Adaptive Leadership Model and Cummins' Model of Language Acquisition, support services were developed to increase the retention rates of ESL nursing students. The purposes of this qualitative generic research study was to: (a) determine what the perceived effects specific support services had on the academic goals of the ESL nursing students at NCC; (b) which support services were perceived by the ESL nursing students as most helpful and why; (c) which support services were perceived by the ESL nursing students as least helpful and why; and (d) how the number of years speaking English, speaking English in the home, and the age of the student when s/he learned to speak English were perceived by the ESL nursing students as influencing their ability to be successful in completing the NCC nursing program. ESL nursing students in their first and second year of the NCC nursing program and past graduates were invited to participate. Of the 55 invitations, 15 students agreed to participate in a 20-30 minute researcher-designed phone interview. The support services that were perceived as the most helpful in this study were the free Personal Digital Assistant (PDA) with Nursing Central, a group of three textbooks (drug, lab value and nursing diagnosis) loaded on them and one-to-one faculty support. The support services perceived as least helpful were study groups and negative attitudes of faculty. All participants felt that the younger a person was when they learned English and the more years speaking English had a positive effect on success in the nursing program. Speaking English in the home was also seen as helpful but some felt it was better for their children to speak their native language at home so the children remained bilingual.

(c)ESL护理学生认为哪些支持服务最没有帮助,为什么? (d)ESL护理学生认为英语口语的年限,在家说英语的年限以及他/她学会说英语的学生年龄如何影响他们成功完成NCC的能力护理程序。应邀参加NCC护理计划的第一年和第二年的ESL护理学生和以前的毕业生。在55个邀请中,有15名学生同意参加研究人员设计的20-30分钟的电话采访。在本研究中被认为最有帮助的支持服务是免费的个人数字助理(PDA),带有Nursing Central,一组三本教科书(药物,实验室价值和护理诊断)以及一对一的教师支持。被认为最没有帮助的支持服务是学习小组和教师的消极态度。所有参与者都认为,学习英语的人年龄越小,而说英语的时间越长,对护理计划的成功有积极的影响。在家里说英语也被认为是有帮助的,但有些人认为让孩子在家讲母语更好,这样孩子们还是会双语。
