Jenkins Index 393 This page intentionally left blank PREFACE This publication is a compendium of some of the finest tools and meth- ods available to nurses for the measurement of clinical and educational outcomes. It is a second edition of the highly acclaimed series of Measurement of Nursing Outcomes books published by Springer Publishing Company: Waltz, Carolyn F. and Strickland, Ora L. (1988), Volume One, Measuring Client Outcomes. Strickland, Ora L. and Waltz, Carolyn F. (1988), Volume Two, Measuring Nursing Performance: Practice, Education, and Research. Waltz, Carolyn F. and Strickland, Ora L. (1990), Volume Three, Measuring Clinical Skills and Professional Development in Education and Practice. Strickland, Ora L. and Waltz, Carolyn F. (1990), Volume Four, Measuring Client Self-Care and Coping Skills. A collection of tools and methods is presented with attention given in each chapter to purpose and utility, conceptual basis, development, test- ing, and the results of reliability and validity assessments. Many of the tools and methods included are the second generation of tools that were originally developed by participants in the Measurement of Clinical and Educational Outcomes Project. This project, administered by Dr. Carolyn F. Waltz and Dr. Ora L. Strickland and funded by the Division of Nursing, Special Projects Branch, U.S. Dept. of Health, Education, and Welfare (1983-1988), afforded nurse researchers, clini- cians, and educators from across the nation the opportunity to refine their skills in measurement through a series of intensive workshops and indi- vidualized consultations. The project focused on the development and testing of clinical and educational outcome tools by nurses who partici- pated. Enrollment was limited to those who were actively engaged in research or education, and selection of participants was on a competitive basis. Resulting tools and methods were presented at a conference open to the profession at large that was attended by approximately 250 indi- viduals. Selected tools and methods were subsequently disseminated in the four volumes edited by Drs. Waltz and Strickland and published by the Springer Publishing Company (1988-1990). Since that time, many of these tools have been widely used, further tested, and revised by the developers and others. Thus, it is time for a second edi- tion. Included here are tools and methods applicable to clinical and ix x Preface educational settings that focus on professional and education outcomes. The collection contains several clusters of topics that address professional- ism, clinical decision making, clinical performance, clinical simulation, stu- dent outcomes, factors affecting the clusters, and research outcomes. Major topic areas include but are not limited to: effect of language competence and review courses on graduates' NCLEX-RN performance, student lead- ership characteristics, outcomes of continuing education programs, atti- tudes toward cost effectiveness, faculty teaching role preparation, diagnostic reasoning, critical thinking, and clinical competence. Readers will find in this publication not only a collection of tools for measuring clinical and educational outcomes that address a variety of sub- stantive topic areas, but also prototypes of methodologies for the meas- urement of outcome variables whose utility extends well beyond a given topic area. Other notable features of the tools presented here follow: the tools are conceptually based and resulted from extensive reviews of the lit- erature; tools and methods are well grounded in sound measurement the- ory and practices; both norm-referenced and criterion-referenced frameworks and varied

  • Licensed Practical Nurse
    HEALTH CAREER INFORMATION SHEETS Licensed Practical Nurse Professional Activities Licensed practical nurses (LPNs), or licensed vocational nurses (LVNs), care for people who are sick, injured, convalescent, or disabled under the direction of physicians and registered nurses. LPNs care for patients in many ways. Often, they provide basic bedside care. Many LPNs measure and record patients' vital signs such as height, weight, temperature, blood pressure, pulse, and respiration. They also prepare and give injections and enemas, monitor catheters, dress wounds, and give alcohol rubs and massages. As part of their work, LPNs collect samples for testing, perform routine laboratory tests, and record food and fluid intake and output. They clean and monitor medical equipment. Sometimes, they help physicians and registered nurses perform tests and procedures. Some LPNs help to deliver, care for, and feed infants. LPNs also monitor their patients and report adverse reactions to medications or treatments. LPNs gather information from patients, including their health history and how they are currently feeling. They may use this information to complete insurance forms, pre-authorizations, and referrals, and they share information with registered nurses and doctors to help determine the best course of care for a patient. LPNs often teach family members how to care for a relative or teach patients about good health habits. Most LPNs are generalists and will work in any area of healthcare. However, some work in a specialized setting, such as a nursing home, a doctor's office, or in home healthcare. LPNs in nursing care facilities help to evaluate residents' needs, develop care plans, and supervise the care provided by nursing aides.

  • Failure to Complete BSN Nursing Programs: Students' Views
    101 Failure to Complete BSN Nursing Programs: Students’ Views Nancy Elkins, Marshall University Abstract This phenomenological research study investigated the lived experiences of students who did not succeed in completing a 4-year baccalaureate nursing school (BSN) program. The sample for this study included students who failed to completed baccalaureate nursing programs within the last ten years. The geographical area of the sample included students who attended schools in the central and south-western Appalachian counties of the state of West Virginia and the bordering counties in Ohio, Kentucky, and Virginia. A total of 18 participants were interviewed and the interviews were recorded so the data would be collected in a systematic way to facilitate data analysis. There is little empirical data regarding retention in a BSN program and students’ views as to why they were unable to complete their BSN program. Further research is needed to understand nursing student attrition, especially students’ perceptions, which would help nurse educators identify nursing students’ needs, review program’s policies, and possible curriculum changes needed to help students successfully complete their nursing program. Keywords: Nursing Education, Persistence, Student Perceptions and Motivations Introduction A nursing shortage has been predicted in the United States due to the aging nursing workforce and the future needs of the baby-boomers as they age. The Government Affairs Committee of the American Nurses Association (ANA) predict that by 2022 that the United States will need to produce more than one million additional nurses to fill both new nursing jobs and replace the wave of retiring nurses. The premise of this study is that if we better understood why students fail nursing schools, faculty could support program or policy changes, or initiate admission procedures that would better predict student success in baccalaureate nursing programs; thereby, the predicted nursing shortage could be mitigated.

  • The Landscape of Nursing Education in the United States
    FORUM ON PUBLIC POLICY The Landscape of Nursing Education in the United States Tama Lynn Morris, Queens University of Charlotte, Dean, Blair College of Health & Presbyterian School of Nursing Abstract There are over 4 million Registered Nurses in the United States (National Council of State Boards of Nursing, 2019). To become a practicing registered nurse, one must graduate from approved educational program, pass a licensure examination, and meet the requirements of licensure in their state of residence. Despite a common licensure examination, the educational pathways to becoming a nurse are varied and often confusing to prospective students and those professionals who practice beside nurses in the healthcare arena. Outside factors, such as the 2010 recommendation by the Institute of Medicine for 80% of nurses to be prepared at the baccalaureate level, have influenced educational models and hiring practice. The purpose of this paper is to advance knowledge of nursing education in the United States, explore factors influencing the current nursing education model, and challenge assumptions for the future of nursing education. Nursing in the United States is a mixture of credentials, education, and practice. The profession is confusing even to those in healthcare. Many in the healthcare field and the patients they care for are unable to identify the different types of nurses and their level of practice. The purpose of this paper is to describe the current state of nursing in the United States, specifically that of Registered Nurses (RN). The largest population of licensed nurses in the United States are Registered Nurses. In 2019, the National Council of State Boards of Nursing (NCSBN) reported there were over 4.7 million licensed registered nurses.
