摘要
Accelerated master's programs in nursing for non-nurses (AMPNNNs) are rapidly increasing in number. They offer accelerated entry into nursing practice for individuals with a baccalaureate degree or higher. An integrative review, based on Whittemore and Knafl (2005) was conducted to identify the characteristics of the students and the perceptions of students, graduates, and faculty who participate in these programs. A search of published literature yielded 15 sources with relevant data for this integrative review. Student characteristics indicate predominantly Caucasian females who are older, mature, and academically accomplished. There is a dearth of literature related to the perceptions of students and faculty as they experience the program. Student experienced role changes, and the demands of nursing education were notable. Faculty identified the need to develop innovative teaching strategies for adult learners. The gaps in the evidence base of AMPNNNs are highlighted, and areas for future research are recommended.
