title: Applying crisis intervention methodology to the retention of students: a case study.
abstract: This article presents the application of crisis theory and the adaptation of Aguilera's crisis intervention model for use in the retention of four at-risk students. Knowledge of student learning styles/preferences along with prior knowledge of faculty teaching and testing styles facilitated the selection of appropriate learning strategies to guide these students to successful completion of a course, the subsequent successful completion of the nursing program and entry into professional practice.
