Book excerpt: As fewer individuals are choosing nursing as a career, and many seasoned nurses are leaving the workforce sooner, the nursing shortage is of increasing concern. Investigation of possible avenues to facilitate renewed interest in nursing and greater nurse retention is of significance to nurse educators, recruiters, and managers. Moreover, research reveals student reports of increased interest, enthusiasm, and ease in learning when individual learning styles are facilitated. This study examined the possibility of relationships between student nurse learning styles and the subsequent areas of practice, satisfaction with nursing as a career, and retention within the nursing workforce. The sample for this study was selected from a pool of 115 associate degree nursing graduates from a fully accredited community college in south central Idaho.
