Abstract
Faculty in associate degree nursing (ADN) programs have unique opportunities to encourage and guide students to continue their nursing education. At a time when the nursing profession needs advanced clinical leaders and educators, the bachelor of science in nursing (BSN) provides ADN graduates a stepping stone to advanced education and career opportunities. Faculty approaches to encourage ongoing student education, organized from the theory of adult learning by M. S. Knowles (1970), are provided. These include engaging students in the process, showing how the BSN can be relevant to students' lives, and assisting students in finding a BSN program that fits their lifestyle.
