A. What Progress Have We Made?

Complete Appendices A (Budget History), B1 and B2 (CLO's), C (PLO's), and D (A few questions) prior to writing your narrative. You should also review your most recent success, equity, course sequence, and enrollment data at http://www.chabotcollege.edu/ProgramReview/Data2012.cfm

.

In year one, you established goals and action plans for program improvement. This section asks you to reflect on the progress you have made toward those goals. This analysis will be used by the PRBC and Budget Committee to assess progress toward achievement of our Strategic Plan and to inform future budget decisions. It will also be used by the SLOAC and Basic Skills committees as input to their priority-setting process. In your narrative of two or less pages, address the following questions:

What were your year one Program Review goals?

Did you achieve those goals? Specifically describe your progress on the goals you set for

 student learning, program learning, and Strategic Plan achievement.

What are you most proud of?

What challenges did you face that may have prevented achieving your goals?

Cite relevant data in your narrative (e.g., efficiency, persistence, success, FT/PT faculty ratios, CLO/PLO assessment results, external accreditation demands, etc.).

What were your year one Program Review goals?

1.

Increase student retention

2.

Review at-risk students

3.

Replace Maternity Instructor

4.

Evaluate and update the merit admission criteria

5.

Evaluate existing curriculum-transfer to CSUEB streamlined

6.

Open house and BBQ for new students

7.

Use simulation lab as part of a community outreach for the hospitals and get funds to maintain equipment

8.

Provide counseling hours for students experiencing high levels of stress

Did you achieve those goals? Specifically describe your progress on the goals you set for student learning, program learning, and Strategic Plan achievement.

Goal 1: For the graduating class of 2012 we started with 61 students and graduated 37 for a

61% graduation rate. During this time we also admitted 5 LVN’s and 7 readmits (2 nd time through program) for a final rate of 49 or 80%. Still need to work on this goal.

Goal 2: At-risk students are now referred to E. Victoria (counseling) as case manager hired with grant money. He provides counseling within a 5 day referral time to our students. This is for help due to stress, or family/personal issues. This is working well and instructors referred 7 students last semester.

Nursing Program Review - 2013

Goal 3: We have not replaced the maternity instructor due to budget issues facing the college.

At this time, the nursing faculty is also down one Medical-Surgical Instructor.

Goal 4: The first Merit Based students were admitted in the fall of 2012. For ethnic groups the class has 28% of students identifying themselves as White and the other 72% identify as other races. We notice a high number of male students 15/50 or 33%. The class started with 50 students and at this time seven have withdrawn; due in part to family issues, clinical experience, and one student for failure of the math exam. We will continue to evaluate the criteria.

Goal 5: A roadmap for transfer to CSUEB was developed and is posted on our website to streamline this process for students. We have a great interest in this program and over 50% of last year’s class has enrolled in the CSUEB program. A speaker from CSUEB has met with the freshman class last October to promote this great opportunity to get a BSN in one year after graduation.

Goal 6: The Open House/BBQ has been held for the past 2 years and has been paid for with part of grant and co-curricular funds. We see positive evaluations from students for this event.

Goal 7: Simulation is up and running well in each large course in the program. We have hired a simulation technician and simulation helper to run the manikins and write scenarios. This is all paid for with grant money. Student evaluations of this experience are very positive and reflect that this clinical practicum is a critical part of their nursing education. There is a concern if the grant funding is not renewed the college will not have the resources to maintain the lab personal required to effectively ‘run’ a simulation.

Goal 8: Counseling with Ernesto Victoria (case manager) will continue with grant funding as long as possible.

What are you most proud of?

As the nursing program director I am most proud of the Merit Based Admission Criteria, the

Roadmap to CSUEB and the simulation lab. All these items allow Chabot College to have a 100% pass rate on the State licensing exams this past year.

What challenges did you face that may have prevented achieving your goals?

Currently we are short two full time nursing instructors. Our program has (7) full time and (9) part time instructors. The nursing program has mandated staffing levels by the Board of

Registered Nursing who will visit in 2014. This will most likely be an area of noncompliance if it is not addressed. Our pediatric instructor will go on semi-retirement in the spring of 2014. This will create another half time position.

With grant money we have been able to staff nursing clinical rotations with a second adjunct instructor for 2 hours each day to assist with medication administration. This has been

Nursing Program Review - 2013

extremely successful in allowing more students to administer medication which is a large part of the RN’s job.

Many hospitals are now requiring that we have 8 instead of 10 students in each clinical group. It is becoming difficult to find acute care sites as hospitals are having financial difficulties, implementing the Electronic Medical Record (EMR) and are running transition programs for new staff. The Board of Registered Nursing in their 2012 School Report states, “Reasons for lack of access to clinical space vary by program, although the predominant reason among all program levels remains competition from the increased number of nursing students. Staff nurse overload/insufficient qualified staff and a decrease in patient census was also a frequently cited reason.”

We continue to teleconference all theory courses to our Livermore extended campus site. The nursing program will have updated teleconferencing equipment installed in Hayward and

Livermore over the summer break. Our relationship with Valley Care Hospital continues to work extremely well and they hire many of our graduates.

The BRN 2012 School Report states, “Between 8/1/11 and 7/31/12, 128 of California’s 132 nursing schools reported using clinical simulations.” We are currently running the simulation lab with grant funding that will run out over the next school year. I hope to secure more grant money as we need to keep the simulation lab running efficiently.

In the future, the nursing program will need to purchase some type of electronic medical record to allow students to practice how to document on the computer chart while here on campus performing nursing skills.

To conclude we are using the over $700,000 in grant funds to increase our student retention, pay for simulation lab employees, provide a case manager for our struggling students, along with seven medication pass instructors and two tutors. We are updating the cement patio behind building 3100 to accommodate “study” patio tables to allow the students a place to meet and eat while on campus. We desperately need to replace the two full time nursing instructors as soon as possible to continue to run the program as successfully .

B. What Changes Do We Suggest?

Review the Strategic Plan goal and key strategies at http://www.chabotcollege.edu/prbc/StrategicPlan/SPforPR.pdf

prior to completing your narrative. Please complete Appendices E (New Initiatives) and F1-8 (Resources Requested) to further detail your narrative. Limit your narrative to two pages, and be very specific about what you hope to achieve, why, and how.

Given your experiences and student achievement results over the past year, what changes do

you suggest to your course/program improvement plan?

In reviewing our 2010-2011 Two Year Class Success Study for our 4 core nursing courses

(N55,N60A, N59 and N60B) we have had an attrition rate of 85-96.4 percent in these courses.

Nursing Program Review - 2013

This seems like we are losing students pretty equally across the courses. We need to continue to have the medication pass instructors in the clinical area for 2 of the busy times on the shift.

This is working extremely well per instructor and student feedback.

What new initiatives might you begin to support the achievement of our Strategic Plan goal?

Do you have new ideas to improve student learning?

The single goal for PRBC to” Increase the number of students that achieve their educational goal in a reasonable time frame…” is met in the nursing program as our students complete in 2 years. It would be helpful if the students did follow a path for the prerequisites. Some take years to complete this and this could be streamlined. We have developed a roadmap to the BSN along with CSUEB. It is attached to this document. If students follow this path they can have a

BSN in nursing in 5 years.

What are your specific, measurable goals?

The comprehensive goal for the nursing program is the passing of the NCLEX-RN exam after graduation. The students that graduated in 2012 have had a 100% pass rate for all first time takers. This is well above the average for California of 85% for first time takers. After each course in the program students take a computerized exam developed by Assessment

Technology Institute. This exam is compared to all programs across the US. Our students must pass each exam with a score of level 2 (competent) or they must do a remediation exam. Scores in our program have been increasing with many students scoring level 2 or 3.

How will you achieve them?

See above.

Would any of these require collaboration with other disciplines or areas of the college?

I think it would be great if nursing faculty got together with the other instructors that teach the prerequisite courses annually to discuss what could be improved or deleted.

How will make that collaboration occur?

An annual meeting where a representative from science, English and Math came to a nursing faculty meeting to discuss best practices/student concerns.

How has your investment of the budget monies you did receive improved student learning? When you requested the funding, you provided a rationale. In this section, assess if the anticipated positive impacts you projected have, in fact, been realized.

The use of the simulation lab helps us meet the hospital standards of 8 out of 10 students in a clinical group. The use of the simulation lab enhances student learning, critical thinking and improves student abilities to respond in emergency or critical situations and provides safe competent nursing care on the clinical unit. Although the college did not fund the medication pass instructors, these were funded through grant monies. The clinical instructors were able to increase patient safety during bedside care and provided more individualized attention to each student. When grant funds are depleted the college should absorb the cost to maintain the level of safety and care.

2.

What has been the impact of not receiving some of your requested funding? How has student learning been impacted, or safety compromised, or enrollment or retention negatively impacted?

The nursing program has received grant money to provide the medication pass instructor for 2 additional hours during the clinical rotations. We have this additional help in 5 out of 8 clinical groups at this time. The medication pass instructor provides a direct 1 to 1 instruction for patient safety. It allows the instructor to provide individualized evaluations of students to meet Joint Commission standards.

Appendix E: Proposal for New Initiatives (Complete for each new initiative)

Audience: Deans/Unit Administrators, PRBC, Foundation, Grants Committee, College Budget Committee

Purpose: A “New Initiative” is a new project or expansion of a current project that supports our Strategic

Plan. The project will require the support of additional and/or outside funding. The information you provide will facilitate and focus the research and development process for finding both internal and external funding.

How does your initiative address the college's Strategic Plan goal, or significantly improve student learning?

The nursing program needs a designated computer lab that will be available for testing (all courses use

Blackboard for exams), electronic charting, and student learning activities (60 computers)

What is your specific goal and measurable outcome?

Enhance and maintain student learning, virtual clinical experiences and achieve student individual educational goals.

Measureable outcomes are to include but are not limited to passing ATI computerized assessments at the end of each course with a composite score of level 2 or above.

Appendix F8: Facilities Requests

Audience: Facilities Committee, Administrators

Purpose: To be read and responded to by Facilities Committee.

Background: Following the completion of the 2012 Chabot College Facility Master Plan, the Facilities

Committee (FC) has begun the task of re-prioritizing Measure B Bond budgets to better align with current needs. The FC has identified approximately $18M in budgets to be used to meet capital improvement needs on the Chabot College campus. Discussion in the FC includes holding some funds for a year or two to be used as match if and when the State again funds capital projects, and to fund smaller projects that will directly assist our strategic goal. The FC has determined that although some of the college's greatest needs involving new facilities cannot be met with this limited amount of funding, there are many smaller pressing needs that could be addressed. The kinds of projects that can be legally funded with bond dollars include the "repairing, constructing, acquiring, equipping of classrooms, labs, sites and facilities."

Do NOT use this form for equipment or supply requests.

Instructions: Please fill in the following as needed to justify your requests .If requesting more than one facilities project, please rank order your requests.

Brief Title of Request (Project Name): Remodel 2200 room 2 nd floor

Building/Location: 2200

Description of the facility project. Please be as specific as possible.

Revision of room 2256 and 2254 into a computer lab that will accommodate 65 students.

What educational programs or institutional purposes does this equipment support?

Nursing program, dental and medical assisting program students and other courses that need a computer lab for blackboard testing. Allows for better item analysis of testing, immediate feedback for test results and review for students. We currently test at two different locations (sometimes three).

Allowing students to combine our extended campus (20) with home campus (40) for more active interaction with each other.

Briefly describe how your request relates specifically to meeting the Strategic Plan Goal and to enhancing student learning?

Increase the number of students that will achieve their educational goal within a reasonable time.

Please see the roadmap for our students to transfer to CSUEB.
