Reflection: Based on the data gathered, and considering your teaching experiences and your discussions with other faculty, what reflections and insights do you have? This is the final core course in the nursing program requiring the culmination of all nursing program education. It is the most rigorous course offered and the last step to their individual preceptorship. It is a predicator for the success of our students in taking and passing their licensing exam (NLCEX). Last year 100% of the students who passed this class also passed the NCLEX. Over the past five years the program has had a first time pass rate of 96% ‐100%. The California Board of Registered Nursing requires nursing programs to have a pass rate of 85% for accreditation. We exceed these standards. E.

What changes were made to your course based on the previous assessment cycle, the prior Closing the Loop reflections and other faculty discussions? Outstanding at 100% 2. Based on the current assessment and reflections, what course‐level and programmatic strengths have the assessment reflections revealed? What actions has your discipline determined might be taken as a result of your reflections, discussions, and insights? Last year 96% of the students who passed this class also passed the NCLEX. Over the past five years the program has had a first time pass rate of 96% ‐100%. The California Board of Registered Nursing requires nursing programs to have a pass rate of 85% for accreditation. We exceed these standards. Preceptorships are becoming extremely difficult to arrange. In the future we may need to increase simulation experiences and as a substitute for preceptorships. This will require a enlargement of our simulation lab to accommodate the 40‐50 students along with a simulation director. Other possibilities in clinical health care are being explored. 3.
