Abstract
This presentation will describe an innovative retention strategy targeting first semester nursing students at Brookdale Community College. Designed by two nursing faculty, monthly face-to-face and online meetings, known as "Gatherings", have been found to promote success through student-student and faculty–student interaction. Presenters will describe how informal meetings offer students supportive measures which classroom time does not permit. Successful strategies will be shared, including how to attract attendance, and various interventions students reported as helpful in promoting their first semester success. The use of technology to enhance the "Gatherings" will be discussed; quantitative and qualitative outcomes will be shared. About the speakers:
