Abstract

ABSTRACT: Mastering the Content is a proactive curriculum whose At-Risk Student Identification Criteria-Based Remediation Interventions Tool leads to nursing student success. The curriculum integrates active learning strategies and problem-solving activities throughout the nursing program to develop clinical judgment. Remediation includes guided metacognitive learning tool construction, individualized student support, and study plans to increase learning and decrease attrition. The curriculum and interventions tool were developed based on evidence gathered from a meta-analysis of research on best practices in basic RN prelicensure program remediation success and one nursing program's successful implementation of best practices.
