With a disproportionately low number of Latinx students completing a nursing degree, it is critical that institutions of higher learning support students striving to apply to a nursing program and persisting up to graduation. This qualitative study investigated ways in which Latina undergraduate students become successful in nursing program degree completion and identify themselves as successful students, professionals, and individuals. Through the use of narrative inquiry, six Latina nurses shared their personal stories of struggle, determination, and hope regarding their experiences while pursuing a nursing degree. Yosso's (2005) Community Cultural Wealth Model and Rendon et. al's (2014) extension of Yosso's model focusing specifically on the cultural wealth of Latinx students were used to analyze the data. Three major themes emerged from the data analysis: (a) Becoming a Nurse: A Long and Winding Road, (b) Identity: Riding the Wave, and (c) Ventajas y Conocimientos (assets and knowledge). By understanding the experiences of successful Latina nurses, higher education practitioners and nursing programs can strategically determine opportunities to support, retain, and graduate Latina students aspiring to become nurses, while becoming more aware of the assets and knowledge they bring along with them.
