Thesis (Ed.D.)--University of Georgia, 1991.

The purpose of this study was to explore from the participants perspective reasons re-entry men choose to enter a program of nursing education leading to licensure as a registered nurse (RN) and then withdraw before graduation. Semistructured interviews were conducted to collect data from the fourteen respondents, eight graduates and six nongraduates, representing five associate degree nursing programs in the University System of Georgia. Two factors, upward mobility and family support, were identified that help explain why some men choose to enter a program of nursing education and three factors, goal orientation, image, and salience of student role, were identified that help explain why some of these men complete the program while others do not. Results of this study lead to the following conclusions: (a) adult men will choose an educational program leading to a career in a traditionally female occupation provided that occupation provides upward mobility as evidenced by higher occupational status and/or income and that such a choice meets with family approval; (b) goal proximity plays a more important part in the adult male student's choice of program than the geographic proximity of the program; (c) goal orientation, image and role salience interact to influence completion or noncompletion of an adult's college degree.Subjects--Topical Terms:
