Survey of nephrology nurses' interest in graduate education.
OBJECTIVE
The purpose of the survey was to determine interest in a Master's nephrology nursing program among ANNA members residing in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia.


METHODS
Needs assessment.


METHODS
153 ANNA members residing in South Carolina, North Carolina, and Virginia.


METHODS
Mailed survey.


RESULTS
Response rate was 27%; 54 (35%) expressed interest in attending such a program, with 62 others (41%) interested "depending." Part-time study was the most commonly desired program option. Almost half (48%) were not currently baccalaureate prepared, a requirement for admission.


CONCLUSIONS
Enrollment was inadequate to support the program despite numerous marketing efforts, bringing into question the adequacy of needs surveys for program planning.
