The purpose of this study was to 1) identify factors nursing faculty perceived would facilitate and/or challenge the success of MNSs when transitioning to and progressing through baccalaureate nursing programs, and 2) ascertain successful strategies used in teaching and working with these students. A descriptive survey research design was used to collect data from faculty at 26 schools of nursing that received federal funding to support the transition of veterans to a career in nursing. Quantitative and qualitative data were collected, analyzed, and integrated via descriptive statistics and content analysis. The survey was completed by 88 faculty from 19 of the 26 schools. The top four categories for both the facilitators and challenges, based on Jeffreys' (2015) NURS Model, were student affective characteristics, student profile characteristics, professional integration factors, and environmental factors. Programmatic factors were the most commonly cited success strategies, including having culturally competent, knowledgeable, and designated faculty and staff for MNSs. Developing evidence-based strategies to use in teaching and advising MNSs ideally will ensure their academic success.

Graduate students across disciplines encounter countless academic, social, individual, and financial challenges. Research in nursing has shown that nursing students have trouble during their graduate studies. However, this phenomenon has not yet been explored in Saudi Arabia. To explore the obstacles faced by graduate nursing students; assess the effects of these difficulties on their academic, social, and psychological life
