Nursing has been given 1 contract position to hire for Fall 13.
We need 3 and urgently need 2. So this helps toward meeting
this goal.
Sim Chart was originally purchased by faculty grant to review.
The nursing program has adopted this system for class and
clinical use, and has moved the cost to the student. Students
purchase the SimChart program through the book store. It is
covered under the Chancellors Office Student Fee regulations.
The cost for the CCPS system is currently $975.00.
The system is used to request clinical placement in the South
Bay area. We currently have three hospitals that we use for
clinical placement in From Palo Alto to San Jose that are
critical placements for the program.
Basic non-reusable supplies are needed to use in the Nursing
laboratory for nursing skill acquisition. For supplies such as
dressing materials, syringes, needles, IV supplies and kits.
The nursing program is working to complete purchase of
instructional equipment from the new building bond. Target
for completion spring 2013.
In addition the nursing program has an equipment list detailed
in our program plan. The program is adding equipment as
funding is obtained (please see program plan 2012 for details)

Revise SLO measurement schedule to meet
required measures by Fall 2013
Improve NCLEX pass rates
1. Research possible causes
2. Hire contract faculty to meet the goal
of 2 per level
3. Review the literature for interventions
shown to improve pass rates
4. Develop intervention plan Spring 13
The new measurement cycle will begin Spring 2013.

NCLEX pass rates have been declining since 2007-8 from 93.44%to
77.36%. an initial decline to 85 was anticipated due to the increase in
difficulty and pass level of the NCLEX-RN exam. However, the
further decline to 77.36% is an indication that this area needs to be
addressed. During this time the Nursing program has not added
faculty to keep contract faculty levels close to pre-program-expansion
levels. This is an issue that the nursing program is seeking to address
through the priority process for hiring contract faculty.
SLO Assessment Progress: In a sentence or two, describe where your department should be on the Revolving Wheel of Assessment (what
assessment you should have done in the last year) and what was actually done. If not every thing was completed, explain why.
The Nursing program reported on SLOs during our program plan report to the college Spring 2012. During that time we discovered, while we
were assessing across the program the faculty was using the program outcomes. Marcy said at that time we need to use the individual course
outcomes. During fall semester 2012 the nursing program has reviewed its entire assessment plan (see Appendix A) of whish the SLO
assessment plan is a part. Starting spring of 2013 the nursing program will implement the new SLO assessment schedule to be completed in 4yrs.

and work in that area will
inform curriculum.

Priorities identified for program as a result of assessment. Example:
Develop strategies for teaching research and documentation skills; share
rubrics for research papers; provide more instructional support outside of
class.
Priority for this coming year is to start our SLOs cycle as planned in spring
13 and correlate with measures to improve NCLEX pass rates that have
fallen over the past two years.
