High School Seniors' Attitudes & Concepts of Nursing as a Profession by Melvin H. Rudov,Maurice T. Wilson,Karen Trocki Pdf
The primary objective of this investigation was to determine what attitudinal and knowledge factors contributed toward minority students not choosing nursing as a profession in higher numbers than they currently do. A total of 2,057 American Indian, Chicano, black, and white high school seniors were surveyed at three geographically disparate sites (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; Tallahassee, Florida; and several places throughout the State of Arizona) to assess their attitudes toward and concepts of nursing as a profession, their academic preparation for nursing education, as well as relate these factors to certain demographic variables. The information and insights gained in the study have been used in preparation of recruitment materials and activities which are now being tested in active recruitment and guidance programs underway in the areas where the study was carried out.
