In this conference presentation, we will explore how data analytics can be harnessed to develop effective action plans aimed at improving student retention in nursing education programs. By examining patterns and trends in student performance, demographics, and engagement, we can identify key predictors of attrition. The presentation outlines a step-by-step strategy for nursing programs to leverage this data, enabling them to implement targeted interventions, provide personalized support, and optimize curricular design. The ultimate goal is to enhance student success and graduation rates, thereby addressing the critical nursing shortage and improving nursing program outcomes.
