2015-16Program Review preparation guidelines

Program Name: Nursing Associate Degree

ANALYSIS TAB

I. Quantitative Indicators

Discussion Not Required.

II. Analysis of the Program

  1. Any new significant program actions (new certificates, stopout, gain or loss of positions) as results of last year’s action plan.
  2. NCLEX pass rates. We added the Kaplan Review for the exam in addition to the HESI.(the national pass rates this year to date is 82.7% so we are right on target):

  1. One faculty on sabbatical F15.
  2. One faculty not granted tenure Sp16; position not refilled.
  1. If relevant, share a brief analysis for any Perkins Core Indicator not met.

Student placement is dependent on the hiring practices of Mau Memorial Medical Center. It has been going through major financial and organizational stresses and is still hiring traveling nurses over new grads. Also, about 30% of the ADN grads are progressing on for the BSN so they delay employment for another year.

III. Action Plan

  1. Action Plan
  1. PLO: Assess oral communication for next year.
  1. Program improvement: Data collection for curriculum mapping and program evaluation for accreditation follow up report due 10/17.

IV. Resource Implications:

The campus budget process aligns with the State of Hawaii biennium budget timeline. The next UHMC budget process will be initiated at the beginning of fall semester 2017 for the next biennium. Mid-biennium requests should address a critical need submitted through your department chair.
