Combining PCR tests (gold standard) with antibodies tests proved useful as a diagnostic strategy. Since 1999, the Veterans Health Administration's (VHA) National Nursing Education Initiative (NNEI) has provided 16,294 scholarships for registered nurses to attain baccalaureate and advanced nursing degrees. The goal of this evaluation was to determine factors that enhanced or hindered a scholarship recipient in the completion of their degree and service obligation. A regression analysis was performed to identify predictors of degree completion for 10,043 participants in 162 VHA facilities. Significant predictor variables for degree completion were intended occupation, entry degree, gender, age, and year entering the program. Eighty-six percent (86.7%) of participants completed the degree requirement. Of those who completed their degree, 97% completed the service obligation. As recruitment and retention initiative, NNEI scholarships are poised to address the VHA nursing staffing shortages as well as build a highly qualified nursing workforce capable of providing the best care to our Nation's Veterans.

The application and impact of influence are readily recognized, but not its characteristics. The purpose of this project was to conduct a concept analysis of influence relative to nurse leaders. The Walker and Avant method of concept analysis was utilized. Attributes of influence in
