As the need for high-quality nursing programs, new programs, and new delivery methods continues to grow, systematic and ongoing program evaluation is increasingly critical to the success of nursing schools at all levels of education. A Systematic Approach to Evaluation of Nursing Programs , Second Edition , equips nurse educators, administrators, and others involved in program evaluation with truly transformative strategies for conducting ongoing formative and summative evaluation of nursing programs.
This approachable resource combines in one concise volume detailed coverage of the concepts nurse educators must understand to engage in program evaluation and accreditation as well as examples and practical strategies for successfully applying those concepts. Updated with the latest perspectives from respected authorities across the field of nursing education and new chapters, this second edition provides the current, comprehensive support needed to confidently engage in program evaluation and build stronger nursing education programs.
"The strategies offered in this book, itemized in detail by expert faculty, can be used to change the culture for nursing programs attempting to seek successful accreditation. For programs that have already achieved accreditation, the strategies presented here will offer options for ongoing systematic evaluation that are based on evidence. … Our students deserve a culture of nursing school programs built on evidence, one that is vital for the successful transformation of our health care system and the well-being of our patients."
