  • Title: Retention of English-as-a-second-language (ESL) students: approaches used by California's 21 generic baccalaureate nursing programs.
    Author: Memmer MK, Worth CC.
    Journal: J Nurs Educ; 1991 Nov; 30(9):389-96. PubMed ID: 1663540.
    Abstract:
    A rapidly growing number of California's ethnic minority nursing students are individuals whose primary language is not English; these English-as-a-second-language (ESL) students often have high attrition rates. This research surveys the approaches used in all of California's 21 generic baccalaureate nursing programs to retain their ESL students until graduation. Comparisons between the five programs with the highest ESL student retention rates and the group as a whole show significant differences.
