Description

This descriptive phenomenological study described practices used by Associate Degree Nursing (ADN) and Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) programs to develop and implement progression policies regarding the use of the Elsevier HESITM Exit Exam (E2) and related remediation methods. Purposive and snowball sampling methods were used to recruit 15 deans, program directors, and faculty from programs identified as using the HESI TM E2. Semi-structured telephone interviews were conducted to discern policy practices and implementation experiences. Demographic data about the program and student populations were collected. Data analysis was accomplished using Giorgi's method of reading the transcripts as often as necessary, determining meaningful units of information, grouping these units into themes and finally determining similar meanings for the individuals.
