title: The 'high-risk' nursing student: identifying the characteristics and learning style preferences.
abstract: Declining enrollment has heightened the awareness of nurse educators to the importance of a heterogenous pool of nursing students. The purpose of this study was to identify the learning style preferences and other characteristics of 50 nursing students who were defined as high-risk for academic difficulty in the baccalaureate nursing program. Based on the findings from the study, implications are drawn and a sample of instructional activities outlined.
