Hodges' model: in Frodge (2007) Perceptions of nursing and Midwestern Assoc. Degree Nursing program
Nineteen years after publication I have finally added Prof. Shannon Frodge's doctoral dissertation to the bibliography. Dated 2007, it is nice to fill a gap:
Frodge, S. C. (2007). Perceptions of nursing and of a Midwestern Associate Degree Nursing program (Doctoral dissertation). Retrieved from ProQuest Dissertations & Theses. (Order No. 1445113).
I cannot access a copy, but previous posts supplied the abstract:
Abstract
The current nursing shortage is complicated by the fact not enough students choose nursing to offset the number of nurses who are nearing retirement. This is distressing to the profession, and is of particular interest to nursing schools. This quantitative, descriptive correlational study examined the perceptions of 99 students in grades sixth through twelfth in a public Midwestern school system regarding nursing as a career choice, 41 current students in the local community college’s nursing program, and recruiting methods that would or did most influence them. The framework for the study is Brian Hodge's Health Career Model. Students were surveyed using a Likert scale tool with demographics and comments. Descriptive statistics included frequency tables, cross tabulations, chi squared, and confidence intervals. Comments were grouped for qualitative phenomenological purposes. Findings indicated statistically significant differences in perceptions of students based on sex and grade which could be used to enhance recruitment efforts. [my emphasis]

No excuses here. Usually I am on the ball with news of a citation filling me with joy. I cannot find an email address for Prof. Frodge. I've contacted ProQuest for assistance. If can help with a copy, or email address please get in touch -
