Abstract
In recent years the number of associate degree-prepared registered nurses entering into baccalaureate nursing programs has not been sufficient to replace nurses leaving the workforce. The high rate of attrition in nursing programs has further added to this problem. The challenge for schools of nursing is to identify factors affecting attrition and determine ways to decrease it. This article examines self-esteem and self-efficacy as predictors of attrition in first semester registered nurse to bachelor of science nursing students.
