|CRITERION 18: Written planning for systematic program evaluation and assessment of outcomes includes the following elements: |
|definitions of criteria and required and elective outcomes; |
|defined levels of achievement (decision rules for action); |
|time frames from assessment of all plan components; |
|person(s) responsible for each component of the plan; |
|methods and/or tools to assess each criterion and outcome; |
|reliability, validity, and trustworthiness of methods and tools used; |
|data collected, analyzed, aggregated, and trended; and, |
|verification that findings are used for decision making in program development, maintenance, and revision. |
|Operational Definition |
|Evaluation Plan—document outlining the components of the Nursing Program and including all the NLNAC required elements for evaluation. |
|Expected Outcomes: |
|A written plan is in place that meets the criteria and is used to guide systematic evaluation of the program. |

|CRITERION 19: Required and elective outcomes as they relate to student academic achievement by program type, are evaluated. |
|Operational Definitions: |
|Definitions for each element are found in the Program Planning and Assessment Document and in the Self Study. |
|Expected Outcomes: |
|Graduates exhibit critical thinking. |
|Students complete required Nursing Process Papers (NPPs) satisfactorily at each level in the Program in order to progress. |
|Graduates show a positive disposition toward critical thinking on the CCTDI. |
|Graduates score above the 50th percentile on the steps of the nursing process as shown on NCLEX RN Program Reports. |
|Graduates rate #2, #3, & #5 on the Graduate Self-Assessment Survey (GSS) as 3.5 or better on a scale of 1-5 upon graduation. |
|Graduates demonstrate communication abilities. |
|100% of students passing are rated as "satisfactory" on communication skills on their clinical evaluation tools each quarter. |
|90% of students passing complete satisfactorily (grade 2.0 or above) a communication project at each level (paper, verbal presentation, etc.) |
|Students rate #7 on the GSS as 3.5 or better on a scale of 1-5 upon graduation. |
|Graduates demonstrate therapeutic nursing intervention skills. |
|Students are rated as satisfactory in all clinical outcomes at each level in the Program in order to progress. |
|Graduates score at or above the 50th percentile for all graduates of all nursing programs in meeting client needs for: safe, effective care environment, health promotion and health maintenance, |
|psychosocial integrity, and physiological integrity as shown in NCLEX RN Program Reports. |
|Students rate #4 on the GSS as 3.5 or better on a scale of 1-5 upon graduation. |
|4. Graduates have the knowledge and skills to pass the NCLEX RN and become licensed RNs. |
|Graduates pass the NCLEX RN at or above the mean rate for the United States. |
|Patterns and rates of employment are tracked. |
|At least 90% of graduates are employed as RN's within six months of graduation. |
|Employment patterns reflect that 80% of those employed are practicing in roles for which they have been prepared (i.e. direct care in hospitals, nursing homes, ambulatory clinics, and home care.) |
|Graduates are satisfied with the preparation the Program has provided for the RN role. |
|Graduating students rate program satisfaction as "3.5" or better on a scale of 1 – 5 upon graduation. |
|Graduate surveys show that 90% of graduates were satisfied with Program preparation. |
|Students accepted into the program are successful in achieving their goals. |
|At least 60% of those admitted to the Nursing Program graduate with an AAAS degree within the standard six quarters (two academic years) 70% within 9 quarters (three academic years.) |
