Abstract

A common challenge educator’s face understands the dynamics involved in student success. Educators are finding themselves at an impasse with student failures and success in terms of program and school-wide attrition. Nursing students have additional stressors due to the rigor of their programs. Cultural adaptation, culture shock, clinical requirements and standardized testing ultimately impact program completion. Resilience is a key tool for success with any venture in a person’s life. Building resiliency in nursing students will pay off not only in program completion but as students enter practice. Educating students regarding the concepts of self-efficacy and self-regulation and having them complete exercises using these techniques can pave the way to student success.
