title: Evaluation of a comprehensive advisement program designed to enhance student retention.
abstract: Nursing schools are experiencing an increase in enrollment. However, students are done a disservice when there are no strategies to retain them. A primary strategy for enhancing student retention is the implementation of an effective advisement program. The authors describe the implementation and evaluation of a comprehensive advisement system that was a major component of a special project grant from the division of nursing designed to enhance student retention.
