Abstract
This study of student characteristics centered on the problem of discovering the differential attributes of two groups of baccalaureate students in nursing, registered-nurse students and basic senior students. The data covered a wide area of values, interests, motivations, and aptitudes. They suggest avenues of future research which may have long-term benefits. What immediate benefits may accrue to educators is entirely a matter of interpretation. There is evidence to support and to discourage the continuance of separate programs for registered-nurse students. Some special handling of these students seems warranted, however, on the basis of their strong professional motivations, theoretical inclinations, and postbaccalaureate plans.
