Popis: Ten factors, accreditation, cost, flexibility, location, method of earning credit, student profile, quality, progression to master's degree, resources and time, should be investigated before selecting a baccalaureate nursing program. A sample of 361 RNs enrolled in ten baccalaureate nursing programs identified and prioritized the ten factors. The most important factor was cost, followed by accreditation and flexibility. Asking questions in each of these areas enables the RN to make an informed decision before investing time, energy and money in a specific program. These ten factors can be guidelines used for assessing various program objectives. The subjective data are how each RN prioritizes the ten factors.
