Purpose: To examine completion and attrition of students in nursing PhD programs. Methods: Total 5,391 students who matriculated into nursing PhD programs in 2001 to 2010 were selected from the AACN database. Findings: The completion rate of the students was 74.2% and the attrition rate was 22.7%. On average, it took 5.7 years for the students to graduate and 3.7 years for the students who left without graduating to drop out. The mean age at matriculation and graduation was 42.4 and 47.5, respectively. Male students, part-time students, students of post-baccalaureate programs, students who were not faculty or held a part-time faculty position, students of the 2001 to 2010 matriculation cohorts, and students in PhD programs with 25% or more of the courses taught online were more likely to experience attrition. Conclusion: The study findings provide useful information for the nursing education community to better address the issue of nursing PhD shortage.& nbsp;
