PART A 1. List of Program Learning Outcomes (PLOs)

Baccalaureate program learning outcomes (PLOs) were developed based on The Essentials for Baccalaureate Nursing Practice (American Association of Colleges of Nursing, 2008) for the nurse generalist. The PLOs were then leveled for each Semester into Semester Level Student Learning Outcomes (Appendix A). The determination of PLO’s, followed by their semester leveling, took place over a year. All faculty participated through specific semester, curricular and faculty meetings. Basic content for the PLO’s was obtained through our national accrediting agencies, the American Association of the Colleges of Nursing (AACN) and the California Board of Registered Nursing (CABRN). Faculty then shaped these into measurable competencies.

Table 1. Baccalaureate Nursing Student Learning Outcomes End-of-Program Competencies The baccalaureate program prepares the graduate to be a competent professional nurse who demonstrates the ability to: 1. Conduct comprehensive and focused biopsychosocial and environmental assessments of health and illness parameters in clients, using culturally appropriate approaches. 2. Plan, implement, and evaluate client-centered care that demonstrates the safe application of the pathophysiological, medical, and nursing management of common acute and chronic illnesses, and health promotion. 3. Use the nursing process to provide appropriate evidence-based nursing care to manage the client’s experience and promote health. 4.

8. Communicate effectively with clients and members of the interprofessional healthcare team to improve client outcomes. 9. Demonstrate beginning levels of clinical judgment, systems thinking, and accountability for client outcomes when delegating to and supervising other members of the healthcare team. 10. Assumes responsibility for and evaluates own professional nursing practice according to the ethical standards of the ANA Code for Nurses, standards of nursing practice, and legal mandates. 11. Coordinate and manage healthcare for a group of individuals across the lifespan in order to maximize health, independence, and quality of life. 12. Analyze the influence of health care policy, finance, and regulatory environments on nursing practice in the global community. (NOTE: Revised 3/19/2008 Curriculum Revision Task Force; Approved Full Faculty 4/7/2008; Amended and Approved Full Faculty 11/10/2008, Rev. 2/2009 Amended and Approved Full Faculty 3/9/ 2009) 2. Map of PLOs to University Learning Goals (ULGs)

The School of Nursing’s program learning outcomes directly support the university learning goals. The delivery of nursing care exemplifies the integration of specialized and broad integrative knowledge, intellectual skills, applied knowledge, and social and global responsibility.

ULG 1: Professional nursing knowledge and theory is specialized ULG 2: The nursing baccalaureate education supports the opportunity to gain a broad liberal education ULG 3: The rigorous nursing curriculum demands intellectual skills ULG 4: The service learning component of nursing education demands that knowledge be applied in clinical and community settings. ULG 5: Social and global responsibility is an integral part of the curriculum

Appendix B maps the Program Learning Outcomes to the University Learning Goals

3. Alignment – Matrix of PLOs to Courses See Curriculum Map ( Appendix C). The Curriculum Map was created based on a review of course greensheets by members of TVFSON Curriculum Committee as part of our ongoing curriculum evaluation process. This Curriculum Map was the final step of our recent Program Planning report submission (approved December 2013). 4. Planning – Assessment Schedule

In the baccalaureate program data are collected on every student’s performance, measuring the leveled SLOs for that student, every semester. Students in Semester 1 are introduced to nursing content and concepts. Students’ theory grades and final course grades in the beginning skills course (NURS 53) are used as achievement measures. In NURS 53, students complete a skills check-off that evaluates competencies for future clinical practice. For students in Semesters 2-6 of the nursing program, the clinical evaluation tool is used each semester to measure student achievement and these tools are placed in the student’s file in the nursing office. Because nursing requires mastery, students are not passed on to the next semester level unless they have achieved the leveled SLO’s

NURSINGAnnualProgramAssessmentREV5.29.14

for that semester. Program learning outcomes are measured in the Capstone Clinical Course for every student in that course, every semester. This evaluation tool is placed in the student’s file in the nursing office.

5. Student Experience – The PLOs are posted on TVFSON website (http://www.sjsu.edu/nursing/docs/BA%20Nursing%20SLOs.pdf). Program Learning Outcomes are also included in the Student Handbook. Each nursing course greensheet links the class objectives to the PLOs. The Program Learning Outcomes were developed after intensive review of the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE) accreditation standards, California Board of Registered Nursing Rules and Regulations, American Nurses Association guidelines, and the National Council of State Boards of Nursing licensure examination blueprint. Student input was not solicited.

PART B 6. Graduation Rates for Total, Non URM and URM students (per program and degree)

The rates published on the university website (Total 297 44.4%; URM 68 35.3%; Non-URM 207 48.3%; Other 22 36.4%) are not an accurate reflection of the actual graduation rates from the nursing school. These larger numbers reflect students who are admitted to the university into the "pre-nursing" major category. A large percentage of these "pre-nursing" majors are never admitted into The Valley Foundation School of Nursing. The following table is a more accurate depiction of numbers admitted compared to numbers graduating from the school of nursing.

7. Headcounts of program majors and new students (per program and degree) OIR report is inserted here. As an impacted program with a fixed number of admissions, increasing enrollment is not an indicator of the demand for the program. Due to impaction, a limited number of students can be accepted into TVFSON. This limited number of students is influenced by the student-faculty ratio in the clinical setting as determined by our clinical agencies and the California Board of Registered Nursing. Teaching and supporting nursing students is costly. In order to understand the demand for the program, refer to Table 8. TVFSON Undergraduate and Graduate Coordinators track the number of applicants into nursing programs. Additional Master’s program data are found in Appendix G.

8. SFR and average section size (per program) These figures are suggested to provide a measure of cost-effectiveness and faculty load. In comparison to other departments in the university the nursing department does not compare well and is not cost-effective. As stated earlier, regulatory bodies and community partners dictate many of our nursing class sizes. We are comparable to other nursing schools in this area. Two factors contribute to the need for limits on faculty load:

• The students placed clinically are providing hands-on care for individuals who are acutely ill and/or have chronic health conditions that require monitoring. Students

7

NURSINGAnnualProgramAssessmentREV5.29.14

require close supervision by faculty in complex, fast-paced healthcare environments. • The coursework for nursing is rigorous and requires mastery.

PART C 10A. Closing the Loop/Recommended Actions 1. Maintain NCLEX Pass Rates: With the 2013 changes to the NCLEX-RN test blueprint and the increase in the passing standard from -.27 to -.21 logits in 2014, we will carefully monitor and adjust our teaching/learning strategies if our pass rates decrease. Historically, pass rates decline across the nation when changes to the passing standard (increase) are made.

available but due to its length, it is not included in this document. 12. DNP Marketing and Recruitment (See Appendix D).

10B. Indicate and describe activities undertaken this year designed to improve learning and/or program quality and health. Please see Appendix E.

11. Assessment Data Data are collected and reviewed regularly. NCLEX-RN pass rates are received from the California Board of Registered Nursing every quarter and are reviewed by the Curriculum Committee and reported to Full Faculty each semester. NURS 148A pass rates are collected every spring and reviewed by the Curriculum Coordinator. Issues with pass rates for NURS 148A are addressed in the next Curriculum Committee meeting. For the Masters program, Graduation Rates, manuscript submissions and acceptances are tracked each Spring by the Graduate Coordinator and reported to Full Faculty.

12. Analysis

Baccalaureate Program: Analysis of NCLEX-RN results for the past year indicate that our first-time pass rates remain high (94%). NURS 148 (the Capstone Clinical) pass rates for Fall 20 13 = 100% (N = 85) and for Spring 2014 = 100% (N = 50).

Graduate Program: A total of 10 students completed Orals and submitted their manuscripts for AY 2013 – 2014. Fall 2013 5/8 (63%) students in the capstone project course (NURS 297) participated in Orals and 2 (25%) of these students graduated (Nurse Educator track). Spring 2014, 5/6 (83%) students in NURS 297 participated in Orals. Seven students met the requirements for graduation (2 = Nurse Educator, 1 = School Nurse, 4 = Nurse Administrator track). To date, two manuscripts that were submitted December 2013 have been accepted for publication for a 40% publication rate.

13. Proposed Changes and Goals 1. Maintain quality of baccalaureate program and monitor NCLEX-RN pass rates. 2. Expand the graduate program by adding the Family Nurse Practitioner Program and increasing recruiting efforts. Target date to begin the new program = Fall 2015. 3. Implement the Wound-Ostomy Certification Program in Fall 2014. 4. Reinstate Family Nurse Practitioner Program Fall 2015.
