Abstract
Background: A strategy that may improve health outcomes for First Nations Peoples is to have greater representation of First Nations Peoples within the health care workforce. There are systemic issues within higher education institutions that impact recruitment, retention, and academic progression of First Nations nursing students entering and completing undergraduate programs, which contributes to a higher rate of attrition compared to their non-First Nations counterparts.
Purpose: To establish what strategies support First Nations students to succeed within undergraduate nursing programs.
Method: A scoping review of 5 databases was utilized.
Results: Eight papers were included in the review. Reflexive thematic analysis resulted in 4 themes: (1) social learning environments, (2) culturally safe places (3) embracing support, and (4) external impacts.
Conclusion: Despite positive actions, attrition rates and prolonged course lengths continue to impact course progression for First Nations nursing students.
