    Course Project: Goals and Outcomes 2

    Course Project: Goals and Outcomes

    Curricular goals define in broad terms the knowledge, skills, values, and attitudes

    faculty members believe will enable graduates to succeed as practicing professionals

    (Valiga, 2005). The goals should be consistent with the mission of the university and

    school, and should encompass the expanded learning outcomes. Achieving clarity and

    consensus on program goals is a major challenge posed by assessment, with benefits for

    the entire academic program (Valiga, 2005).

    Goals of Nursing Department - BSN Program

    1. Integrate nursing knowledge with a blend of liberal education in the arts and sciences.

    2. Provide an educational environment that promotes caring, critical reflection,

    collaboration, professionalism, and lifelong learning.

    3. Mentor and guide nurses toward personal and professional transformation in nursing.

    4. Foster clinical decisions and ethical practice in health care based upon the codes and

    standards of practice to meet unique needs of individuals, families, and communities.

    5. Promote the development of faculty in teaching, practice, community service, and

    scholarship within the nursing profession, community, and university.

    Program Outcomes

    At the completion of the baccalaureate program, the graduate will be able to:

    1. Synthesize theoretical and empirical knowledge in nursing and from related arts,

    natural, social, and behavioral sciences essential for professional practice.

    2. Apply theories of caring, teaching and learning, wellness, health promotion,

    leadership, and management to meet health care needs of individuals, families, groups,

    and culturally diverse communities.


    Course Project: Goals and Outcomes 3

    3. Integrate concepts of critical reflection, collaboration, community, and research to

    foster independent judgment and decision-making in one’s practice.

    4. Embrace the code of ethics and standards of nursing practice in the provision of care

    and professional performance.

    5. Collaborate with consumers, providers, and organizations to provide meaningful health

    services for others.

    6. Demonstrate commitment to ongoing personal and professional development through

    professional involvement, and lifelong learning.

    Students: Education Outcomes

    The student successfully completing this program will be able to:

    1. Integrate educational and nursing theories in the design, development,

    implementation and evaluation of nursing programs.

    2. Employ instructional strategies that recognize the diverse learner.

    3. Implement assessment and evaluation methods in a variety of learning environments.

    4. Incorporate evidence based research in educational practices.

    5. Appraise legal and ethical considerations related to the nurse educator role in a

    variety of learning environments (Krozek, 2001).

    Evaluation Process

    The student in the BSN program must earn a “C” grade or better in each required

    nursing course, and in each general education course.  In addition, the student must

    maintain an overall GPA of at least 2.5 in order to maintain her/his standing in the

    program.  Any student with a GPA of less than 2.5 for two consecutive semesters will be

    required to withdraw from the program. Every student is expected to complete the


    Course Project: Goals and Outcomes 4

    program in no more than five years; otherwise, the student will be required to withdraw

    from the program.  A student who is required to withdraw from the program should meet

    with her/his academic advisor for appropriate guidance.  Every BSN student is assigned

    to a faculty/academic advisor on entering the program. Achievement of less than a “C”

    grade in a nursing course permits the student to repeat one nursing course only one time.

    The student will not progress to the next higher-level course with less than a “C”. If a

    student fails any two nursing courses the result will be dismissal from the nursing

    program. Non-nursing courses require a “C” grade or better.
