Abstract

Education & Educational Research Social Sciences
BACKGROUND Accelerated second-degree baccalaureate nursing (ASDBN) programs have become popular in the United States as a solution to meet the demand for BSN nurses. The research conducted on ASDBN graduates is limited and focuses on educational experience or early career outcomes, such as NCLEX-RN pass rates or first-year job performance. AIM This research is designed to provide a better understanding of the status of ASDBN graduates two years after completion of the BSN program. METHOD A literature review was conducted focusing on research into ASDBN graduates beyond their student experiences or early significant career events or outcomes. RESULTS Surprisingly, only two articles met the interest criteria used in this literature review. CONCLUSION There are clear and significant gaps in areas that examine ASDBN graduates beyond the immediate postgraduation period.
