a.
Rationale for creation, revision, or
deletion:
The
nursing profession is experiencing the most severe nursing shortage and nursing
faculty shortage in its history.
Currently, Delaware has a 19.5% vacancy rate in all registered nurse
(RN) positions in acute care agencies, compared to a national rate of
13.9%. By 2010, the deficit is expected
to reach 45%, and by 2020, Delawares shortfall of RNs will be 52% (Nadity,
2002). Compared to national trends,
Delaware far exceeds the Nation in its anticipated nursing workforce
shortage. In addition to this health
care crisis, the majority of nursing faculty are over 50 years of age and an
insufficient number of doctorally prepared nurses are available to replace them
upon retirement.
Nursing student enrollments have started to increase, and funds from within the state are supporting higher numbers in area community colleges. These local increases have created a challenging climate for high quality clinical education. Delaware health care agencies do not have sufficient space to deal with the numbers of students seeking clinical education practice sites. Clinical nursing education is labor intensive and time consuming. Traditionally nursing students have been educated in small clinical groups of 8-10 students with one faculty member for 12-20 hours per week depending upon the level of instruction. The Department of Nursing begins clinical education in these small groups using community health care agencies during the sophomore year. Credit and clinical hours increase in both the junior and senior years. To find sufficient clinical teaching space within agencies, faculty and students are frequently asked to travel to agencies in Philadelphia, New Jersey, and Dover. Some agencies have requested the use of week-ends to alleviate the number of students on their units.
In addition to tighter clinical placements, the
Department of Nursing has faced challenges related to clinical safety in the
care of acutely ill patients. Mechanisms
to decrease risks to patients during clinical education and to develop safer
and more cost-effective approaches to nursing education are needed within the
Department of Nursing. Nationally,
nursing education accrediting agencies and professional boards have engaged in
dialogue to revise nursing education.
The Department of Nursings undergraduate curricular
revision envisions a new model of nursing education that stresses patient
safety through clinical simulation, field experiences, and a senior residency
program devoted to clinical immersion to better prepare graduates to begin
their professional nursing career. The
proposed revision is based upon the previous 5 years of curricular revisions to
meet the changing and challenging environment of professional nursing. This proposal more efficiently utilizes
clinical agency space needs and faculty resources for clinical education.
b.
Summary of program:
The traditional baccalaureate degree program offers a tiered approach
to nursing education that begins with basic skills and minimal nursing credits
during the freshman year and culminates in a nursing residency program during
the senior year. This approach continues
to incorporate a liberal arts education using the same arts and sciences
prerequisites, applied sciences, and rudimentary coursework common to most undergraduate
degree programs. Throughout the 4 years
of nursing education, a nursing simulation laboratory for clinical skill
attainment and licensure exam practice will compliment required coursework.
During the freshman year, students are introduced to the nursing
profession and very basic skills in laboratory settings. In addition, they take multiple sciences to
build a scientific knowledge base for nursing practice. Nursing knowledge is expanded during the
sophomore year and focuses on lifespan issues while maintaining the development
of scientific and applied coursework related to human caregiving, health, and
physical functioning. The junior year
begins essential specific nursing population information in major areas of
clinical practice, which include adult health, pediatrics, womens health,
psychiatry, community health, and an introduction to evidence based care. During the junior year, students complete all
breadth requirements so that the senior year of nursing culminates in a
clinical immersion experience. The
clinical immersion (also referred to as a nursing residency) will allow
students to experience real-life clinical practice 3 days a week for 8 hours a
day as they rotate through 6 major clinical experiences. The senior year addresses essential nursing
licensure issues, ethical decision making, and allows students to explore areas
of nursing in which they are interested through a clinical preceptorship and 6
credits of nursing electives. The overall
goal of the senior year is to prepare student nurses with real world
experiences to begin their professional career with clinical skills and
evidence-based practice for effective health care.

Full
Description and Proposal for Curricular Revision
I.
Description
The Department of Nursing seeks to revise the existing
undergraduate BSN program to an innovative Nurse Residency BSN program. This program would remain a 4 year BSN degree
program but would shift the concentration of clinical education from a three
year tiered approach to a culminating full senior year approach. All non-nursing prerequisite courses remain
the same; changes only occur within the nursing sequence of coursework.
A.
Institutional
Factors
Clinical placements and issues of student safety have
been increasingly challenging as the nursing shortage and the nursing faculty
shortage become more severe. This
proposed curricular change maintains a 4-year approach to clinical nursing
education, continues to prepare highly qualified nurses, and enhances the
Departments ability to increase enrollments without requiring additional
faculty resources.
Major
factors that began the discussions and planning for curricular change
included: a faculty resource analysis,
difficulty finding quality clinical placements, student complaints related to
traveling to distant clinical agencies, issues of student safety, growing use
of clinical simulation laboratories in nursing education, and parent and
potential student concerns and questions about nursing curricula.
An
increasing number of temporary faculty were needed to fill the clinical
education needs of the current undergraduate curriculum; in light of the
nursing shortage, finding clinical faculty has become a labor intensive
activity each semester. Temporary
faculty may not have the same commitment or familiarity with our nursing
program. We are fortunate to have a core
group of regular temporary clinical faculty, but not all share the same
grading practices and are not involved in the oversight of the full
program. Supervision of and advisement
for these temporary faculty has become a growing responsibility each semester.
Community
health care agencies in which many of our students receive their clinical
education have become overwhelmed by an increasing number of students from
other programs throughout the region. A
few area agencies have requested the Department to move clinical coursework to
the weekends to alleviate the numbers of students in their agencies. As many of our students have families and
jobs, this option would not be possible.
In addition, weekend coursework is not consistent with the traditional
university experience. Our faculty have
increased the use of sites in Philadelphia, New Jersey, and Dover. Students, however, report their dislike of a
distant clinical due to the transportation time involved.
Novice
nursing students do not always understand the impact of their care on ill
clients; students have practiced their skills on the clinical units. When students are identified as unsafe,
they are dismissed from the nursing program.
To promote patient safety and allow practice to occur in a safe and
less stressful environment, this curricular revision will incorporate a
clinical simulation laboratory for skill development and the attainment of
technical procedures. Technology and
simulation equipment has become highly sophisticated. Clinical simulation
laboratories are being used in greater numbers in nursing education across the
country for this very purpose.
Nursing
curricular issues addressed during the planning phase included examining an
upper level nursing course curriculum versus a tiered approach. The majority of parents and students who come
to Delaware report looking for direct admission into a nursing program as well
as nursing courses prior to the junior year.
This revised curriculum maintains early nursing coursework and has a
tiered approach from freshman to senior year.
The
revised curriculum maintains the same prerequisite courses with the exclusion
of HESC155. Student evaluation
information and faculty feedback reported content duplication in HESC155 and
NURS220, indicating a need for this change.
In addition, Dr. Susan Hall requested this issue be examined as their
resources in providing this course were not adequate and the original intent of
the pathways initiative were not being addressed by requiring all nursing
students to take HESC155; this course resulted in being offered to nursing
students, not a cross-section of students from various majors.
The
UD Nurse Residency curriculum provides more cost-effective methods of educating
students; therefore, fewer temporary contract clinical instructors will be
required. The development of a clinical
simulation laboratory is an additional cost to the program. Grant funding and Departmental funds will be
used to purchase the equipment required to develop this new laboratory. The space of the current out-dated laboratory
and some of the existing equipment will be used.
Each year the Department of Nursing anticipates a
class size of 100 students. Many
students request a transfer into the nursing major between freshman and
sophomore years. Transfer students enter
on a space available basis. In the past
5 years, fewer than 100 students have been admitted. With the high demand for nursing programs due
to media coverage of the shortage, the 4 year BSN major has become increasingly
popular. This new curriculum will allow
us to easily maintain our current numbers and potentially increase the class size
to 140 students. Within our current
curriculum, we are unable to afford sufficient temporary faculty to meet the
student demand for the nursing major.
The demand for nurses has never been greater in our
history. Currently, Delaware has a 19.5%
vacancy rate in all registered nurse (RN) positions in acute care agencies,
compared to a national rate of 13.9%. By
2010, the deficit is expected to reach 45%, and by 2020, Delawares shortfall
of RNs will be 52% (Nadity, 2002).
Compared to national trends, Delaware far exceeds the Nation in its
anticipated nursing workforce shortage.
BSN employment rates are 100% for those students who want employment
after graduation. Locally, the members of
the Delaware Organization of Nurse Executives as well as nursing leaders across
the state asked the Department of Nursing to increase the undergraduate class
enrollment to help address the growing need for more nurses.
The UD nursing program graduates the largest group of
baccalaureate prepared nurses in the state.
Wesley College and Delaware State University are the states other
pre-licensure BSN programs. Wesley
College established their BSN program September 2003; their class size
approximates 50 students. Delaware State
University graduates 10-15 BSN students per year. All programs in the state struggle for
clinical education space in our regional health care agencies.
Nationally, nursing education accrediting agencies and
professional boards have engaged in dialogue to re-vision nursing
education. All UD nursing curricular
changes must be pre-approved by the National League of Nursing Accrediting
Council and the Delaware State Board of Nursing. The Delaware legislature has specific
curricular guidelines for pre-licensure nursing education programs. The proposed curriculum has been reviewed and
approved by both agencies. The
accrediting agency commended the faculty on their forward and innovative
approach to nursing education.
II. Enrollments, Admissions
& Financial Aid
These issues remain the same for this revised BSN
program. As noted above (section 2B),
this curriculum is more faculty resource efficient and may allow our Department
to increase the size of the nursing class, which will help meet the local and
national nursing shortage needs.
The degree
awarded is a traditional bachelor of science in nursing (BSN). The requirements shift from 120 credits to
122 credits. In addition to the usual
non-nursing coursework, nursing theory and laboratory courses, and the clinical
education, this curriculum includes a 2-credit work requirement (see NURS 390
description) prior to the senior clinically focused year. This shift is consistent with student requests
and national trends and allows students to experience a health related work
environment before they enter the most time-consuming and labor intensive year
of the program, the senior residency.
Please see the following curricular sequence for coursework.

IV.
Resources Available
Adequate faculty resources are available to meet the
revised curricular needs. Existing
laboratory space will be used for the clinical simulation laboratory. The community agencies will continue to
provide clinical education placements for students; the demand, however, will
be minimized by the on-site clinical placement of only one class of
students. (Currently, our department
uses the clinical sites for two classes of students concurrently.)
V.
Resources Required
Additional laboratory simulation equipment will be
purchased. Faculty will receive
education and in-service programs about simulated laboratory skill
development. Ongoing laboratory staffing
will be required as the students rotate through a series of simulation
stations. The staffing of this
laboratory will be accomplished by hiring a BSN prepared nurse and graduate
students as laboratory assistants.
VI.
Implementation & Evaluation
Implementation of this curriculum will begin
immediately. A few of the courses are
identical and development of the revised courses will occur a semester in
advance. All revised course syllabi will
be submitted to the Departments Curriculum Committee for review and approval. Each semester, faculty will submit formal
course evaluations along with student evaluations. These evaluations will be reviewed by the
Departments Curriculum Committee. The
evaluation processes and outcomes will be monitored by the Departments
Evaluation Committee and the Chairperson.
Challenges or student issues that arise specific to the curriculum will
be analyzed and discussed by faculty at general departmental meetings.
The Department of Nursing will
be seeking re-accreditation in Fall 2005; therefore, the ongoing implementation
and evaluation of this revised curriculum will be documented with the
accrediting agencies.

NURSING The Department of Nursing offers a four-year baccalaureate degree program in nursing and an accelerated nursing degree program for those who already hold a baccalaureate degree in another field. There is also a baccalaureate degree program (BRN) for registered nurses with associate degrees or diplomas. Returning nurses may complete some course work at home or in the worksite in a distance-learning format. In addition, the Department offers a masters program in nursing, with concentrations in Family Nurse Practitioner, Adult Nurse Practitioner, Health Services Administration, and Clinical Nurse Specialist. Four Year Bachelor of Science in Nursing Program The four-year
Bachelor of Science in Nursing program is designed to develop the knowledge,
understanding and skills essential for the practice of professional nursing
and to provide the basis for graduate education. The program is fully
accredited by the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission and has
preliminary accreditation from the Commission for Collegiate Nursing
Education. Information on program requirements is available from the League
at 350 Hudson St., New York, NY 10014, telephone 1-800-669-1656. During clinical rotations, students are exposed to many different experiences in a variety of healthcare settings. These include the major hospitals in New Castle County as well as regional community hospitals, a variety of extended care facilities, independent living facilities, and various community-based providers who offer a range of services across the life span. Students graduate as nurse generalists with experiences in pediatric, maternity, psychiatric, medical-surgical, and community health nursing. Nursing students are encouraged to participate in the Department chapter of the National Student Nurses Association and the Black Student Nurses Organization. Students who have earned recognition for superior academic achievement may be invited for membership in Beta Xi Chapter of Sigma Theta Tau, the International Honor Society of Nursing. Qualified students may participate in the Universitys Honors Program, undergraduate research, and the Degree with Distinction program. Research opportunities are available to all undergraduates. Telephone: (302)
831-2193 ACCELERATED NURSING DEGREE PROGRAM The Accelerated Degree Program is a course of study leading to a Bachelor of Science in Nursing and is designed for individuals who have a previously earned degree in another field and would like to pursue a career in nursing. Students in this program must complete all of the non-nursing requirements by transfer credit from their first degree, completion of coursework at the University of Delaware or by transfer of pre-approved equivalent courses from other accredited institutions. The program begins in the fall with one course which is offered in a distance learning format. Students will be required to come to campus for course examinations. If a student is unable to relocate until beginning full time study in January, special testing arrangements may be made on an individual basis. In January, students begin their full time studies with a five week winter session. Coursework continues in the spring semester, followed by a ten week summer session, the fall semester, and concludes with the following January winter session. All non-nursing coursework must be completed prior to the first winter session. Students taking courses in an accelerated mode are sometimes out of sequence with on-campus course offerings. In these instances, lecture will be provided via videotape or web, augmented by group discussion sessions. Eligibility for this course of study includes the following: 1. An earned baccalaureate degree. 2. GPA of 3.0 or greater 3. Completion of all non-nursing courses prior to first winter session. For more information or to make an appointment to discuss the accelerated program, please contact the Department at 302-831-1253. A sample curriculum plan may be viewed at the Accelerated Degree Program website (www.udel.edu/nursing/accelerated.html). Students who may need financial assistance in pursuing a second degree should contact the Financial Aid Office at 302-831-1534. Reference books on private financial aid sources are available in libraries or local academic institutions in your community. Honors Degree in the Department of Nursing Students can earn an Honors Bachelor of Science Degree in Nursing by completing the following requirements: 1. All requirements for the Bachelor of Science in Nursing Degree 2. All the Universitys generic requirements for the Honors Baccalaureate Degree (see page xx) 3. Courses at the 600 level or higher may be taken for honors credits (with permission from the course instructor and academic advisor). POLICIES In order to meet degree requirements, nursing majors must have a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0 to progress in the nursing sequence. A student who earns a grade lower than C- in a nursing course must repeat the course and achieve a grade of at least C- before enrolling in a more advanced nursing course. Students are not permitted to repeat any nursing course more than once. Students who earn a grade lower than C- in more than one nursing course will not be permitted to continue in the program. Students should meet regularly with their advisor to ensure that all requirements are being met. Students are required to meet all immunization, safety and CPR requirements prior to clinical coursework and direct patient care. Students are expected to provide their own transportation to all required clinical experiences. LICENSURE Graduates are eligible for registered nurse licensure in any state upon satisfactory completion of the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (N-CLEX-RN). If the examination is passed and licensure granted in one state, application may be made to other states for licensure by endorsement.
