students when compared to those of BSN to MSN students and are the behaviors of either population the same or different than those of the students in the Haddad, Kane, Rajacich, Cameron, and Al-Ma’aitah, (2004) study?
PURPOSE Identify health promotion behaviors of students
in the RN to BSN and BSN to MSN programs Differentiate their lifestyle behaviors Identify cultural differences Identify the need for curricula changes to promote students’ healthy lifestyle behaviors
