| Data Sharing Methods |
|
| Data Summary | • Quiz/exam data demonstrated 89+% average for all students • We added one hospital day by omitting the day we had been spending at a non-acute facility. Student surveys indicated a continued desire for more hospital experience; they also indicated continue student concern that not all clinical areas equally prepare students for clinical practice, especially concerning medication administration • JPC clinical rotations were non-problematic |
| Analysis Summary | 1. Students should be able to achieve 85% or higher on quizzes & exams 2. Students should spend as much clinical time in acute care facilities as possible 3. The new JPC guidelines are effective. |
| Next Steps Planned | FOR FALL 2013: 1. Work with two of our clinical facilities to try to increase medication administration opportunities 2. Develop more clarity in guidelines for major written assignments 3. Continue to review and modify quizzes/exams for professional relevance (Ongoing in a dynamic field like nursing) |
