Initiative Title	Identify and reduce the barriers to academic and personal success.
Submitted in Previous Year(s)	No
Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale	The Nursing department has seen a significant increase in first-time skill failures this semester, as well as 3rd time failures and attrition from the program, particularly among Nursing 1 students.
Consequences of this initiative not being funded	Increased attrition means that we will have a lower on-time completion rate for the program, and ultimately fewer graduates. With the current nursing shortage, it is imperative that we produce the highest number possible of registered nurses who are ready to begin practice at the bedside.
Department Goals	Strengthen academic and skill supports for students to decrease skill failure and maintain NCLEX pass rates.
Programs	AAS Nursing-Day, AAS Nursing-Evening
Locations	Main Campus, Newburgh Campus
Estimated Completion Date	08/31/2025
Will this initiative span multiple budget years?	No
Importance	High
