The fllwing dcuments are further submitted t clarify sme areas 1. Measurement Methds fr Individual Learning Outcmes Appendix V utlines the individual student utcmes and measurements used t assess thse utcmes. As the prgram mves frward and makes imprvements in individual learning utcmes, faculty will be mnitring subsequent changes in the aggregate prgram utcmes. Up until this pint in time, the fcus has been n raising the NCLEX-RN scres and the verall prgram alng with it. Using prfessinal standards, such as the AACN Essentials and the CCNE Standards fr accreditatin, as mdels f best practice, mdificatins t the curriculum were made. Additinally, in respnse t suggestins frm the New Yrk State Office f the Prfessins, ther adjustments in curriculum and entry requirements were instituted. Since the standards have nw been met, the prgram is nw implementing Phase Tw f a plan t becme distinctive by fcusing in n the prgram utcmes and the unique missin and gals f the cllege. Over the next five years, individual student utcmes and their effects n aggregate utcmes will be assessed. In year ne (2011-2012) faculty will chse tw learning utcmes and design a methd f data cllectin and analysis; they
make and implement recmmendatins based n thse results. Subsequently, learning utcmes will be additive ver time and evlve t develp lng-term ver the life cycle f the prgram.

2. Aggregate student utcme data prvide evidence f the prgram s effectiveness in achieving its missin, gals, and expected utcmes. The DON has set expected aggregate utcmes fr NCLEX-RN first time pass rate at 75%, Graduatin rate at 75%, Students satisfactin EBI scre mean f 5.5. The current benchmarks fr Emplyment Rates and Alumni Satisfactin are established and nly identify return rates. The faculty recgnizes that benchmarks need t be set fr satisfactin levels in all the areas and will d s this spring 2011 semester.. As indicated in the prgram respnse prvided fr cmments related t Key Element III-A n page 4, faculty created a table that mre clearly illustrates the relatinship between expected learning utcmes and measurement tls. This table als delineates the direct and indirect methds used t measure the achievement f these expected utcmes. Additinally, the Department s Strategic CQI Plan (Appendix VI) and the Preceptr & Faculty Student Clinical Perfrmance Evaluatin frm (Appendix VII) were revised t clearly indicate hw these data are used t determine prgram effectiveness and learning utcmes. The DON established benchmarks fr expected aggregate utcmes in ur DON Strategic Plan (2008-2011). Data related t these utcmes were analyzed and evaluated by the faculty and changes t the curriculum design, curses and DON plicies (such as admissin and prgressin in the majr) were implemented. The department implemented the fllwing changes (amng thers): The department in cnjunctin with the Office f Institutinal Research and Assessment designed and cmpleted a crrelatinal study t identify ptential backgrund variables that impact student success and prgressin in the majr. These data were analyzed and evaluated and decisins impacting DON plicy were implemented. Revised the criteria fr admissin and prgressin in the majr., i.e. raised cllege GPA frm 2.50 t 2.75: minimum grade f C+ in all nursing curses) Mapped and revised the curriculum in place and made changes t curse design, cntent, evaluatin methds in curses n each level. All clinical evaluatin student perfrmance tls were revised. Implemented ATI Supprt, Tutrial & Assessment Prgram and analyzed and evaluated individual and aggregate data that infrmed decisins and changes. Implemented an advisement prtcl t assist students as they prgress thrugh the majr.
