The Undergraduate pre-licensure BSN Program continues to receive over 300 applications per year. The attrition rate for the nursing classes has decreased considerably after the class of 2010. Most entering true freshman receive some type of scholarship and are at the top of their high school classes. The class of 2010 had a first time pass rate on the NCLEX of 95%, this is 20% above the score required by the New Jersey State Board of Nursing. The RN to BSN Program has increased in enrollments during the past year. There is an off campus program at Cape Regional medical Center and they are currently interested in starting a second cohort. We have met with Atlanticare Regional Medical Center to discuss starting a program there. A survey was completed in the spring and we hope to have something in place by the fall of 2012. The RN to BSN Program continues to be offered as a hybrid web based program. Student evaluations have required the program to review the clinical courses and revise the number of on campus meetings for these courses. The Pre-licensure BSN Program has made minor changes in the curriculum, these reflect student suggestions, curriculum evaluations, and standardized testing used for program assessment. The Assessment Technologies Institute (ATI) is used for each nursing course every semester to evaluate the students progress and compare their scores with national norms. Strengths and weaknesses are reviewed and necessary adjustments made. A complete summary of all ATI scores is available for review. The Nursing Program also uses the Educational Benchmark Institute(EBI) for assessment of graduates, alumnae and employers. The graduate survey is done annually and the alumnae and employer survey every five years. The results of this assessment is kept in the Nursing Lab and is available for review. A summary of recent surveys will be attached to the hard copy of the report. Information obtained from the EBI is used to assist with curriculum revision.

The New Jersey State Board of Nursing (BON) requires a ratio of no more than ten students to one faculty in the clinical setting; several area hospitals have set lower ratios. This has caused s considerable problem over the years in finding qualified adjuncts. One solution to this problem would be to develop full time, non-tenure, clinical positions in the program. Although the college has never officially changed the terminal degree in nursing from the MSN to a doctoral degree; it is important to try and recruit faculty who have an earned doctorate. Without doctorally prepared faculty the program will not be able to grow. The nursing faculty profile has changed over the past five years. A core group of four faculty have tenure. One faculty is in the tranition program and one will be entering it in the fall of 2011. One faculty member received a recommendation for tenure this year, one faculty received a two year reappointment and two new faculty received a one year appointment. One faculty member was not recommended for tenure. The program has
tried to mentor new faculty with varying degrees of success. Some new faculty embrace the mentorship program and some do not. Several Nursing Faculty serve on program and college wide committees. Three faculty members, Ann Walker, Nancy Davis and Kathleen Vito served on the Faculty Senate, two faculty have been on the college wide Faculty Review Committee and Joyce Welliver was just elected to chair the General Studies Committee. Cheryle Eisele, Ann Walker and Kathleen Vito are involved in community service with a variety of health care institutions. Ann Walker presented two papers at the American Public health Association Annual meeting in November of 1020. She also published Preventing School Injuries in School Nurse News in May 2011 Joan Perks and Joyce Welliver presented Implementing a Nursing Advisement Syllabus to Study the Relationship Between Attrition Rates and Advising at the Drexal University Annual Educational Conference. Joan Perks is currently preparing three chapters for Community Assessment Reviews and Rationales, expected date of publication is fall 2011. Edward Walton received a Research and Professional Development grant to complete work on the antimicrobial and wound healing properties of the North American cranberry. Much of this research will be completed with a colleague from France. Two faculty, Joan Perks and Edward Walton are enrolled in doctoral programs. They both expect to complete their doctorate within the next two years. Program Learning Outcomes Assessment Summary for 2010-11: Objectives Measure(s) Result(s) Interpretation(s) Action(s) 1.90% of PL-BSN graduates will pass the NCLEX the first time. NCLEX 95% pass rate Current policies assist in achievement of goal. Continue using the ATI review course. 2.80% of students will complete the program within five years. 3.100% of students will remediate to level 2 on the ATI in all areas of Attrition/retention rates ATI course results Class of 2010 had an attrition rate of 48% Class of 2011 had an attrition rate of 20% All students remediate to level 2 This class of 2010 was chosen in May and criteria was not as strict as later classes The current policy is successful More rigorous entrance criteria. Better advisement and tracking of students. Continue with remediation as needed.
nursing. 4. 5. [Attach Appendices, if desired] Coordinator Comments about Learning Outcomes Assessment Table: The use of ATI has proven to be a valuable tool in assessing weak areas of the curriculum. The use of this testing and tutorial has proven to be helpful not only with course revision but also with preparing students for the NCLEX. Coordinator s Annual Activity Plans for 2011-12: Goals for 2011-2012 1. Finalize the process to be able to award continuing education credits to the nursing community. 2. Continue to seek outside funding for the program. 3. Hire two doctorally prepared nursing faculty. 4. Explore collaborative ventures with other nursing programs in south Jersey. 5 [Attach Appendices, if desired (such as SWOT, budget worksheet, addenda)] Budget is attached.
Process for piloting the Template: 1. Institutional Research completes the data charts by May 31; sends to Deans 2. Grants Office assists in providing Sedona appendices (if available; Scholarly Reports if Sedona is not yet available) (on track for May 31?) 3. Deans forward the data laden template to Program Coordinators 4. Program Coordinators add their reflections and any appendices by June 30 5. Program Coordinators send report to appropriate Deans. 6. Deans send copies to Provost s Office and IR for aggregate reporting during pilot year (this will be manual during July-August 2011) In 2011-12, the template will be replaced with an online form that collects and stores all data centrally, fields from which Grants, Provost, Deans, and Institutional Research Offices could assemble key reports: a. Annual Directors Report b. Aggregate Learning Outcomes Report c. Aggregate Scholarly Activity Report d. President s Report to the Board of Trustees Deans will then have more of a School-wide Dashboard of analytic views and Please note my comments are outside of the box - Dr. Eisele presents a coherent report of program status for AY 10-11. Notable features are: Goal achievement; enrollment increase and NCLEX pas rates for the pre-licensure program and the inclusion of AACN/EBI assessment data. The nursing program enrollment is still small thereby rendering our representation in the survey results as somewhat unreliable. However these data provide us with excellent longitudinal responses and are very useful for program planning as responses for similar institutions are aggregated. We are now in the process of securing permission to offer CE credits for nurses and expect to expand our on-site RN-BSN program offerings next year. I accept this report and look forward to a productive year.
