title: Perceptions of foreign-born male students who selected baccalaureate nursing education in the United States.
abstract: To explore why foreign-born male students have opted to acquire their basic nursing preparation in the U.S., a survey was conducted in the Fall of 1994 of baccalaureate seniors and juniors. The results revealed the subjects' reasons for entering an American nursing program, why they selected nursing as a career, their overall perceptions of the program, faculty and student experience, and attitudes toward and from their American counterparts. Methodology and recommendations are included.
