title: Issues related to school attendance of black baccalaureate nursing students.
abstract: Schools of nursing are facing the challenge of educating diverse groups of students. This research examined the differences between Black and non-Black baccalaureate nursing students in the level of importance of concerns and issues related to academic, financial, psycho-social, and personal areas of student life. In this study, two data collection methods were used, questionnaire and interview. The greatest differences were seen in the areas of financial and psycho-social. Strategies to assist students need to start as soon as possible and continue post graduation.
