Program Review Update 2013-14Registered Nursing/Vocational Nursing

(Report Due: October 15, 2014)

Program Description (source: Faculty)The ‘Nursing’ program at COD includes Vocational and Associate Degree Registered Nursing, preparing graduates, once licensed, to care for individuals in hospitals, long term care facilities, doctors' offices and clinics or urgent care facilities at an entry level of function. Students are enrolled in 1 of 3 different levels of instruction: Vocational Nursing, Licensed Vocational Nurse to Registered Nurse transition, and Registered Nursing. The curricula consist of courses in general education and science in addition to prescribed nursing courses. These non-nursing courses meet the requirements of both the College and the respective Boards of Nursing.Once accepted to the nursing program after having completed the required prerequisites, the student will complete either three semesters of nursing courses for the Vocational Nursing program, or four semesters of nursing courses for the Registered Nursing program, or 2 semesters of Registered Nursing courses for the students successfully completing the 4 unit, one semester ‘transitions’ course (N56). Each program qualifies graduates to take the national licensing examinations; the vocational nursing graduate the NCLEX-PN to become a Licensed Vocational Nurse, (LVN) and the registered nursing graduate (including successful ‘transitions’ students), the NCLEX-RN, to become a licensed RN.The scope of practice of each varies widely, and is defined by the Nurse Practice Acts of each licensing agency, and each state. Students spend time in each program identifying the role differences and responsibilities as members of a health care team, as well as mastering the knowledge, skills and attitudes necessary for entry level practice.The Vocational Nursing program is approved by the California Board of Vocational Nursing; the Registered Nursing program is approved by the California Board of Registered Nursing.

Course Level Assessment Completed (source: Faculty & OAC Coordinator)(See Appendix G of Academic PR)See last page for Course Level Assessment schedule

Changes Implemented as a Result of the Assessments (source: Faculty utilizing OASR form)

In N001, changes were made to the rubric of the check off psychomotor skills exam, to identify critical elements. This exam remains a source of high stress, leading to high anxiety and poor performance on the exam. An “introductory psychomotor skills exam” has been implemented Fall 2014 in order to give students a similar experience without the high stakes points. Points for the exam have been tapered and increase towards the end of the semester allowing students to become familiar with the exam process as well as more comfortable in their role as student nurses.In N002, Students will take a unit 1 quiz to become familiar with the advanced level of question expected by 2nd semester prior to taking the large unit exam. All student who receive a grade less than 80% will complete a student success and test taking strategy review. An additional clinical experience was added at a dialysis center tying theory to clinical patient for Unit 1. An additional case study was added to tie theory concepts to clinical in the women’s health area.In N003, the nursing curriculum successfully moved the obstetrics content to N002 leaving total theory and clinical time in N003 to be inclusive of the additional topics of cardiac and respiratory in an expanded ten week Medical-Surgical rotation with the Mental Health theory and clinical rotation remaining five weeks in length.In N004, we will continue to implement teaching strategies that advance critical thinking, such as simulation, case studies, and concept based learning exercises. We will consider remediating those students whose critical thinking exam scores actually dropped from the 1st to the 2nd year, since a disproportionate number of these students also failed the semester course.In VN, This is the second year of the VN program with the newly aligned courses running from fall through summer. To facilitate the outcome of 100% of summer semester students will pass with a grade of 75% or better, all VN students were able to meet with the nursing success counselor during the fall and spring semester.In Nursing 56, the VN to RN Transition course, ongoing concern about the high attrition rate in this group has resulted in the creation of a higher unit course (from 4 to 5 unit) which will be utilized to help cover the emerging practice gaps of the LVN graduate, whose work experience is far different from that of the RN, and which has made success in the 2nd year of the RN program less likely for them.


Program Requirements from outside agencies (source: Faculty working with Dean)The Vocational Nursing Program is approved by the Board of Vocational Nursing and Psychiatric Technicians (BVNPT). Last program self study and approval was accomplished in the Spring of 2012. The renewal process for this will occur spring 2015.

The Associate Degree Registered Nursing Program received approval by the California Board ofRegistered Nursing (BRN) in spring 2013. Preparation of a Self-Study and a site visit for renewal will be in spring 2018.

College of the Desert is designated as a continuing education provider by the Board of Registered Nursing. The provider number is 00284. The renewal process for this will occur spring 2015.

Narrative Interpretation (source: Faculty)Board of Registered Nursing regulation 1424 (d) states that, “The program shall have sufficient resources including faulty, library, staff and support services, physical space and equipment, including technology, to achieve the program’s objectives.” Board of Registered Nursing regulation 1424 (g) states that, “Faculty members shall have the primary responsibility for developing policies and procedures, planning, organizing, implementing and evaluating all aspects of the program.”

There are currently an insufficient number of full time faculty members to provide theory instruction and maintain high quality education programs across all Vocational and the Registered Nursing program courses.

There is certain to be additional attrition in the full time ranks in the future. The Board of Registered Nursing recommended immediate hiring of at least two full time faculty to maintain the integrity of the ADN program during the spring 2013 site visit. Our student success counselor has been grant funded for 6 years, this valuable position was finally permanently funded.

It is also clear that an acute nursing shortage in the next 3-4 years. It is likely that community need will drive a necessary expansion of the program in the next 2-3 years, based on best predictions, to prepare prospective graduates to address this need. This would require additional faculty hires and increases in class sections. It is for this reason that we as a program must follow staffing trends both locally and nationally, and may in the near future apply to increase our faculty numbers, and class section offerings.Upon completion of the 2013-2014 academic year, 5 faculty and three classified program support staff retired. Job responsibilities of the support staff were realigned. An A&R specialist for nursing was hired to replace the Nursing Programs Admission Specialist. The Laboratory Specialist/Nursing position was to be replaced by a Nursing Skills Lab Coordinator. This newly developed job description is in process of approval. The RN Program Assistant, a grant funded position, was replaced.

With the five faculty retirements, the department was approved to hire 1- FT temporary faculty for the 14-15 academic year. There were only 3 applicants, of those only 2 applicants that were approved by the state board of registered nurses. Both of them of them took positions elsewhere due to wage


differences. One did not even interview for the position. The other applicant was interviewed and then accepted a position elsewhere with higher pay and permanence.

This lack of faculty necessitated that one instructor teach the theory component for two nursing courses and is overseeing a total of 6 adjunct faculty.

In order to maintain the integrity of our program, we must continue to follow our curriculum model which calls for 1 designated FT faculty per semester for the following reasons: carry 1 section of hospital clinical time, bring what students are seeing in the hospitals to class, connect practice with theory, maintain oversight of all adjuncts in the hospital clinical setting, coordinate facility schedules and communication including updated training of protocols and equipment. Having oversight of all adjuncts is a position that is required by the BRN.

In order to comply with the model of program that has been approved through the Board of Registered Nursing and the model that we feel provides a more consistent and effective education for our students, this department is in need of 2 FT tenure-track positions; 1 for the Registered Nurse program and 1 for the “transition” N56 course.

Narrative Interpretation (source: Faculty) The nursing program increasingly utilizes the high tech state of the art simulation laboratory in all semesters. These facilities are currently understaffed and the attention to these facilities is being neglected. We have been approved for 1- FT staff however, we are waiting for the union to approve the job description for a permanent hire. Currently students do not have the access to these facilities that would reflect what is necessary in meeting the program SLOs. Grant funding covers this position and continues for this year. The department still desperately needs a permanent stable funding source to continue fully utilizing these expensive and approved facilities. Both Boards of Nursing approve these types of experiences for students in need of augmentation of their hospital experiences. Additionally, we have grant funding of an RN Program Assistant vital to smooth organizational function through June of 2015. We need permanent and stable funding for these key positions, to ensure continued success for the enrolled students, for the evaluation and support for potential enrollees, and for assessment of the programs and their outcomes for state regulatory agencies.

Facilities (source: Faculty)1) List of all facilities (Please indicate if any of these were added last year):

California Chapter Flying Doctors, La Quinta, CAStudent Health Services, College of the Desert

2) Assessment of adequacy of current facilities:These facilities meet Program needs, and including Pediatric clinical learning experiences, which were a problem in past years. The number of Pediatric beds in acute care facilities in the valley is concentrated at John F Kennedy hospital, a 14 bed unit that cannot accommodate more than 4 students at a time, and At Desert Regional Medical Center, with an 11 bed Pediatric unit. Students in the 2nd semester are not at Eisenhower Medical Center for their clinical experience, as was the case in the previous years.

At issue currently is the change in management at Oasis Mental Health Facility. This facility is owned by Riverside County, but had been managed by Stars Behavioral Health since the 1980s. This contract was not renewed and a new management team, TeleCare, began management of this facility August 4, 2014. Changes to the physical plant and program design resulted in a request not to have students present. This prevented students from completing clinical objectives at this site and the Hi-Desert site was selected as a temporary replacement. Negotiations will continue to secure Oasis once again as a clinical site. Failure to secure this site will result in monumental challenges in securing an adequate site.

Simulation experiences are provided all ADN nursing students in all semesters in our simulation lab. These experiences count as ‘clinical hours’ for students and are approved as such by nursing boards. New to this activity is the use of National League for Nursing ACES program, a validated simulation program for seniors

The VN students changed facilities during spring semester to better facilitate student needs. An agreement was established with Manor Care Palm Desert, CA. Students were able to rotate through skilled nursing, acute care, pediatric nursing and obstetrical nursing with adequate staffing to meet their learning needs.

The focus for clinical placement is always on what provides the most relevant experience for the students in whatever particular portion of any nursing program in which they find themselves.


Equipment and Supplies (source: Faculty)Learning resources are adequate for the needs of the Department and are continuously being updated by the faculty. Comprehensive and current learning resources and technology, including A/V Instructional materials, are selected by the faculty and recommended for purchase through the Learning Resource Committee.

The Skills Lab and Simulation Lab have become increasingly high tech in recent years with the addition of interactive computerized mannequins and virtual IV programs. The simulation room BNC 38 audio/visual system for remote viewing has become outdated with the newer technology. Mid-tech mannequins occupy most of the Skills Lab beds for practice of vital signs and practice of lab skills. Low tech mannequins continue to be utilized as well. A second skills lab was added over the summer in anticipation of the expanding CNA program. The previous full time skill lab and Simulation coordinator position has been left vacant for two semesters.

The faculty utilizes low tech learning resources such as hand held calculators and textbooks. Textbooks are regularly reviewed by the faculty for accuracy, currency and readability. Additional assignments in computer, interactive DVD programs streaming videos in Medcom, and Kaplan computerized learning resources, are used in both the Computer Learning Lab and from home. Even with other technological and internet resources available and utilized, faculty expect students to complete assignments from the chosen textbooks.

In sum, equipment and supplies are adequate, but staff support capacity fluctuates depending on soft funding, and makes full, consistent utilization of these resources difficult.

Program Challenges (source: Faculty working with Dean)The first of a two-part curriculum revision, moving some specialty content from the 1st semester of the 2nd year (N3) to the 2nd semester of the 1st year (N2), and placement into the 2nd year curriculum of some 1st year content, has been approved to be implemented in Spring 2014. This will ultimately allow for smoother transition into the work environment, giving graduating students a stronger foundation in basic medical surgical nursing as they begin their professional careers. The other pieces necessary for the completion of the revision are the approval of the ‘Transition from LVN to RN’ course from a 4 to a 5 unit one, and the approval of the 3rd semester content change.

The current financial climate in California, and changing community needs may drive change in size of the program at some time in the near future, though it is remains unclear how that need for change will manifest itself. In addition, funding from Enrollment Growth and Fostering Student Success grants ends in June 2014. New monies from an Assessment, Remediation and Retention Grant have been successfully acquired.

The standardization of policies across the different programs is another area in need of further work. The new faculty and new student orientation program is formalized but has not been implemented to date. There is currently no standardized mentoring program, but plans are underway to implement it. Faculty/student policies are under constant revision based on feedback from students and staff and resulting in incorporation in student policy handbooks.


FUTURE PLANS

Continue expanding use of state of the art simulation technology across all semesters of the Nursing program,

Work to decrease dependence on grant funding for successful long term operation within the nursing programs.

Fully implement the mentoring program to ensure uniformly high standards in education delivery. Standardize department processes and policies for consistency and uniformity with both incoming

and seasoned faculty and students. Seek stable College of the Desert funding to continue the student success programs. Increase collaboration with other nursing educational units in the Coachella Valley. Continue

combined workshops and planning of utilization of clinical facilities. Continue the emphasis on acquiring innovative learning resources to support the teaching-learning

paradigm. Complete the curriculum revision.

Report on completion of program objectives last year (objectives were specified on PRU two years ago) Other Program Accomplishments (source: Faculty)

Hire faculty for retirement replacement, for Skills Lab coordination, and for remediation coordination.

Implement multicriteria screening for applicants to improve student success rates and program completion.

Implement reinstatement criteria for students returning to the Nursing program to ensure best results.

Permanently fund essential grant funded employees so that the security of these essential positions is maintained.

Update and maintain all technology equipment currently in use and essential to student learning.

Current Program Objectives (taken from last year’s PRU)1. Curriculum revisions in both Nursing programs by Fall 2017.2. Hire faculty for retirement replacement, for Skills Lab coordination, and for remediation

coordination.3. Crosstrain all necessary faculty to meet state nursing approvals as curriculum revisions are

implemented.4. Permanently fund essential grant funded employees so that the security of these essential

positions is maintained.5. Update and maintain all technology equipment currently in use and essential to student

learning.
