A university nursing dean is particularly interested in attracting more male students. What action by the dean would most likely result in the best outcome for this goal?
a. Create an accelerated baccalaureate degree program.
b. Establish a "fast track" program for business leaders.
c. Partner with the local community college on seamless entry.
d. Recruit heavily among male-dominated occupations.
A
Accelerated BSN programs are an important point of entry for underrepresented groups in nursing, including men. Although it may be difficult to recruit men directly from high school, the accelerated program offers men an attractive way to change careers later in life. Business leaders may not be all male. A seamless transition from an associate degree to an RN-completion degree is an important step in increasing the number of BSN-prepared nurses but does not specifically target men. Recruiting men from traditional "male" occupations may or may not be successful.
