Scholarship – Career Intention of Baccalaureate Student Nurses: Understanding the Barriers, Enablers, and Predictors Toward Public/Community Health Nursing


Listen Later

In this episode, guest Angie Docherty discusses the career intentions of baccalaureate student nurses. Her study aimed to understand the barriers, enablers, and predictors influencing students' decisions to pursue public or community health nursing. Findings revealed that most students enter nursing programs with fixed career intentions, which are minimally influenced by the curriculum. Dr. Docherty emphasizes the need for early outreach and education about the diverse roles in nursing to attract more students to public health. The conversation also explores potential strategies, such as immersive internships, to enhance students' interest in community health nursing.
