dc.description.abstract | Student success in academic programs of nursing requires completion of didactic and
clinical activities. For didactic activities, failure is typically determined objectively. Clinical
failure is determined subjectively, which may expose the competency and reputation of the
clinical faculty. Each scenario can result in a hesitancy, or failure to fail a student.
Graduation may occur in the presence of limited didactic knowledge and clinical
competency, resulting in new graduates who are not adequately prepared for professional
nursing practice. Organizational culture describes a set of shared values and beliefs that
determine appropriate behaviors for various situations. The organizational culture of
academic programs of nursing is suspected to impact assignment of failing grades by faculty
in both didactic and clinical courses. Thus, the phenomenon of failure to fail in nursing
education may be an institutional issue. This study aims to determine the impact of
organizational culture of academic programs of nursing on faculty reluctance to assign
failing grades to students in didactic and clinical courses. | eng |
