Spring 2013 Course SLO Review

NURS 51L - Intermediate Nursing Skills - Stage 4 - Marina Osnovikov

Assessment

Assessment Methods	Analysis of exam, quiz, or homework items linked to specific SLOs Assignments based on rubrics (such as essays, projects, and performances) Direct observation of performances, practical exams, group work Student satisfaction surveys
Assessment Description	Students were observed for their performance. Students worked in small groups. Students were provided with simulated scenario and had to act according to the latest evidence-based practice as outlined in the theory course using the latest version of a text book. Students were assessed for their abilities to carry out steps of nursing process: assessment, diagnosis, planning, implementation and evaluation.
Learning Outcomes	A. Demonstrate ability to perform accurate, detailed, priority-based physical assessments including consideration of age related changes. N. Apply knowledge acquired in Nursing 51 to develop an effective, evidence-based care plan for patients in lab and simulation activities O. Incorporated the nursing process to identify priority assessments and intervention in lab and simulation activities. Q. Demonstrate effective, assertive communication with members of the health care team in simulation activities.
Number of Sections	three
Number of Instructors	two
Number of Students	45

Data Analysis

Data Shared With	Instructors of the same course (at CCSF) Faculty and staff within our department
Data Sharing Methods	Face-to-face meetings Email
Data Summary	100% of students had participated in the simulation activity. The majority of students were able to correctly implement all steps of nursing process with correct diagnoses, planning, implementation and evaluation.
Analysis Summary	A significant majority of the students should be able to correctly assess, diagnose, plan, implement care, and evaluate.
Next Steps Planned	Students reported the significant benefit of the simulation activity. Will continue to use in the format of this course.
Learning Outcomes	A. Demonstrate ability to perform accurate, detailed, priority-based physical assessments including consideration of age related changes. N.

Changes

Details	Included case scenarios/high fidelity human simulation exercises: students were working in small groups, students were provided with simulated scenario, and had to act according to the latest evidence-based practice as outlined in the theory course, using latest version of a text book. Students were assessed for their abilities to carry out steps of nursing process: ability to assess, diagnose, plan, implement and evaluate.

Tentative Future Plans

Term	Fall 2013
Activities	Analysis and discussion of assessment data and next steps Implementation of planned changes and reassessment
More Details	Will improve high fidelity human simulator exercises. Exercises will test student's ability to perform nursing skills learned in a hospital-like atmosphere.
