In response to the nursing shortage, the accelerated pathways are intended to attract individuals with post-secondary education in other disciplines, and allow them to complete nursing education in an abbreviated period rather than the traditional 4-year curriculum. While these programs are more rigorous and standards are higher than the traditional pathways, little research has been conducted on the course facilitators—student, faculty, and environmental attributes that contribute to successful program completion. A new literature review in the Journal of Nursing Education (JNE) summarizes the evidence to date, and identified several themes of academic as well as non-academic facilitators including skills acquired from tertiary education, faculty support, maturation and motivation, and life and career experiences. The article suggests that such knowledge could be valuable in establishing best practices to better attract and prepare prospective students with previous tertiary education.
