Nursing Student Satisfaction with an Associate Nursing Program

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to conduct a nationwide survey to understand the satisfaction of associate of science in nursing (ASN) students with a nursing program as a whole. BACKGROUND Student satisfaction is viewed as an indicator of program success. Yet, nursing student satisfaction has not been sufficiently studied in the United States. METHOD The Curriculum, Faculty, Social Interaction, and Environment model was used to support this nationwide study. Stratified random sampling was used to recruit 56 ASN programs from 31 US states for participation. RESULTS The students rated their satisfaction with the nursing program as close to “satisfied.” The faculty, curriculum, and social interaction significantly and positively predicted overall student satisfaction with a nursing program. CONCLUSION A nursing program can evaluate students' satisfaction periodically to determine the impact of the educational experience on the program's performance.
