Abstract
Nursing education requires intense academic work, which creates specific obstacles for learner achievement. The improvement of academic results in BSN 346 and similar high-stakes courses remains essential for maintaining learner retention, graduation success, and practice readiness. This quality improvement project assessed how evidence-based remediation with structured implementation compared to traditional voluntary remediation methods. The research investigated whether faculty-led evidence-based remediation meetings would enhance BSN 346 learner success through concept map score assessment. A retrospective pre-/post-intervention study analyzed concept map performance between two learner groups from Spring 2025, who received standard remediation, and Summer 2025, who received structured remediation. The researchers conducted a statistical analysis of concept map scores through descriptive and inferential methods. The learners who received structured remediation obtained better mean concept map scores, although the results did not reach statistical significance, yet showed positive indicators of performance improvement and learner engagement. The research results demonstrate that structured remediation holds value as an effective method to boost academic results and should be further developed and tested. The research provides evidence-based recommendations for remediation practices that support nursing learners in developing confidence while improving retention and success in challenging courses.
