Evaluating Adn Faculty Job Satisfaction, Karen M. Thies
Evaluating Adn Faculty Job Satisfaction, Karen M. Thies
Doctor of Nursing Practice Projects
Background
The U.S. is facing a critical shortage of nurses as the aging baby boomer generation is requiring more nursing care. Contributing to the nursing shortage is the inability to educate larger numbers of nurses, attributable to a lack of nursing faculty. Insufficient numbers of nursing faculty results in qualified applicants being turned away from nursing programs.
Project Design
This project evaluated faculty job satisfaction in 703 accredited Associate Degree Nursing (ADN) programs in the U.S. The Index of Work Satisfaction (IWS) (Stamps, 1997), was designed to measure specific factors of nurses' job satisfaction and was emailed to all full …
A Quality Improvement Project: Adopting The Standards Of Best Practice In Simulation: Debriefing With Pearls, Rebecca Lea Hooper Keesee
A Quality Improvement Project: Adopting The Standards Of Best Practice In Simulation: Debriefing With Pearls, Rebecca Lea Hooper Keesee
Doctor of Nursing Practice Projects
Background
There is evidence the best practices of simulation, specifically, the use of debriefing, will assist the new graduate nurse’s transition into the profession by increasing their clinical judgment. This quality improvement (QI) project explored the pedagogy of High Fidelity Simulation and Debriefing as a solution for the lag in New Graduate Nurse (NGN) practice readiness. The specific aims of this project were: 1) to teach the NGN residency educators how to implement Standard: Debriefing of the International Nursing Association for Clinical Simulation and Learning (INACSL) Standards of Best Practices: SimulationSM by focusing on the role of the debriefer; …
Organizational Improvement Readiness Assessment (Oira) Tool Evaluation, Leslie Hough Falk
Organizational Improvement Readiness Assessment (Oira) Tool Evaluation, Leslie Hough Falk
Doctor of Nursing Practice Projects
Background: Research shows that despite an increase in the number of organizational improvement initiatives there is a lack of consistent, sustained outcomes. Organizations struggle with how to reliably and accurately measure their readiness to drive and sustain outcomes. A search of the literature failed to identify a comprehensive, evidence-based tool that has been developed or evaluated to assess organizational improvement readiness. The objective of this project was to evaluate a newly developed Organizational Improvement Readiness Assessment (OIRA) Tool.
Project Design: Guided by two theoretical models, Delphi-Based Systems Architecting Framework (DB-SAF) and the Rogers Diffusion of Innovation Model, a 3-round, modified …
Creating A Rural Nursing Workforce, Heidi Johnston
Creating A Rural Nursing Workforce, Heidi Johnston
Doctor of Nursing Practice Projects
Background: Nursing students living in rural areas often encounter barriers, real or perceived, to receiving education. These students may be unable to leave home to obtain higher education due to expectations, financial issues, and geography (Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, 2010), thus contributing to a shortage of qualified nurses in rural communities. Great Basin College (GBC) recently implemented synchronized distance education Synchronized Distance Education (SDE) for the (AAS) nursing program, and there was a need to conduct a program evaluation in order to maintain/improve program quality. One goal of Healthy People 2020 (2014) is improving access to comprehensive, quality healthcare services. …
Factors Affecting Student Success In Oregon Associate Degree Nursing Programs, Tracy Fawns
Factors Affecting Student Success In Oregon Associate Degree Nursing Programs, Tracy Fawns
Doctor of Nursing Practice Projects
Background: Multiple factors contribute to student retention and attrition rates in undergraduate nursing programs. Attrition rates are rising, which affects society as the population is aging and there is a need for more nurses. Identifying attrition risk as a method to increase student success is imperative in order to produce more nurses. The purpose of this project was to analyze and evaluate predictive factors and academic issues that affect student success at Oregon Consortium of Nursing Education (OCNE) schools in order decrease attrition rates in the science courses and increase associate degree of nursing (ADN) program completion.
Methods: This records-based …
