(Example: 75% of the class scored either 3 or 4) **Actual scores: What is the actual percent of students that meet defined target based on the eLumen data collected in this assessment cycle? 3 PART II: COURSE‐ LEVEL OUTCOME REFLECTIONS A. COURSE‐LEVEL OUTCOME (CLO) 1: 1. How do your current scores match with your above target for student success in this course level outcome? Theory must be passed at 73%. In 2014 80% scored at or above 73%. We are satisfied with this rate as some students leave the program for various personal reasons.
2. Reflection: Based on the data gathered, and considering your teaching experiences and your discussions with other faculty, what reflections and insights do you have? Although we have lost 20% over the past year, we understand some students do not have the dedication to complete the rigors for the program. Some students discover the profession of nursing does not meet their personal expectations and conflict with unexpected life events. B. COURSE‐LEVEL OUTCOME (CLO) 2: 1. How do your current scores match with your above target for student success in this course level outcome? Excellent at 94%. 2. Reflection: Based on the data gathered, and considering your teaching experiences and your discussions with other faculty, what reflections and insights do you have? We will continue to utilize the course methodology in teaching this course and enhancing the student learning. We conduct a content review as required by the Board of Registered Nursing. 4 C. COURSE‐LEVEL OUTCOME (CLO) 3: 1. How do your current scores match with your above target for student success in this course level outcome? Success rate of 96%. 2. Reflection: Based on the data gathered, and considering your teaching experiences and your discussions with other faculty, what reflections and insights do you have? Continued enhancement of student clinical experiences including open lab time, simulations and tutoring. D. COURSE‐LEVEL OUTCOME (CLO) 4: 1. How do your current scores match with your above target for student success in this course level outcome? Success at 84% in 2014. 2. 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 a very rigorous course. We provided weekly tutoring sessions for our theory courses. Medication pass instructors were instrumental in assisting our students in enhancing the clinical experience for our students. Without continued funding more students will not be prepared to pass this course and continue in the program. 5 E. COURSE‐LEVEL OUTCOME (CLO) 5: 1. How do your current scores match with your above target for student success in this course level outcome? Success at 98% in 2014. 2. Reflection: Based on the data gathered, and considering your teaching experiences and your discussions with other faculty, what reflections and insights do you have? Great outcome. 6 PART III: COURSE REFLECTIONS AND FUTURE PLANS 1. What changes were made to your course based on the previous assessment cycle, the prior Closing the Loop reflections and other faculty discussions? No changes. 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 an 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.

Strengths revealed: At this time the Chabot Nursing program is one of top 10 nursing programs in California with a 96‐100% pass rate on the licensing exam (NCLEX). Fall 2014, we have received over 480 applications for the 40 spaces available. What actions has your discipline determined might be taken to enhance the learning of students completing your program? Actions planned: Continued use of case manager through counseling, additional tutors, medication pass instructors and increased hours in the skills lab using adjunct instructors all paid through grant funds. The grant funds are through June 2015. We are looking to replace two full time instructors we no longer have in medical surgical to meet Board of Registered Nursing full time instructor requirements. 8
