Background Statement: SUNY Downstate Medical Center College of Nursing (CN) has implemented a three-prong approach to enrich the Accelerated Bachelor of Science in Nursing (ABSN) program and assist in student retention using concepts from themes emerging from literature on barriers and obstacles to retention of diverse and economically disadvantaged background students.

NCIN scholars participated in the PIP where they shared their perspectives and experiences with the new students. A scholar support group was formed led by a minority faculty. University-based support services such as educational counseling, test-taking and study skills were available to support students. I - Individualized developmental academic advisement and support. Each student was assigned a designated academic faculty advisor through the duration of the program to monitor student progression. learning contracts were used as 'work plans' for students who required remediation. An NCLEX-RNeadiness Plan was integrated into the curriculum to prepare students for the licensing examination. ' N ' Nurturing through mentoring. The CN initiated a formalized mentoring program using the NCIN Mentoring Toolkit in collaboration with the CN Alumni Academy utilizing alumni as mentors. The CN implemented the NCIN 'Scholars as Mentors' to assist new students. Nurses and preceptors in clinical training sites who come from diverse background served as mentors.
Results: The overall impact of Project W.I.N is improved graduation rate and NCLEX-RNass rate for first time takers Accelerated Bachelor of Science nursing students. The mean graduation rate from 2009 - 2013 was 98% compared with 87% from 2004 - 2008. The mean NCLEX-RNass rate for first time takers from 2009 - 2013 was 97% compared with 80% from 20004 - 2008.
