ASSOCIATE OF SCIENCE PRACTICAL NURSINGTHE FACULTY AND STUDENTS FOR THE DIVISION OF NURSING ASSESSMENT COMMITTEE REVIEWED THE ASSESSMENT AND PROGRAM DATA FOR THE 2015-2016 ACADEMIC YEAR ON 2 MAY 2017. ALL FIRST YEAR AND SECOND YEAR STUDENTS WERE INCLUDED IN THE END OF THE TERM ASSESSMENT MEETINGS TO REVIEW TEXTS, COURSES, AND THE PROGRAM FOR EACH SEMESTER. THE SPRING SEMESTER MEETING INCLUDED A REVIEW OF THE OVERALL YEAR. THE HESI RESULTS WERE REVIEWED SEPARATELY WITH THE FACULTY AS THESE RESULTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE UNTIL MAY 4TH.STATISTICSTHE NURSING PROGRAM CONTINUES TO MAINTAIN ENROLLMENT OF DECLARED MAJORS IN THE AREA OF 30 STUDENTS EACH SEMESTER. IN THE SPRING THERE ARE A TOTAL OF 8 STUDENTS IN THE FORMAL CURRICULUM - 5 STUDENTS AT THE FIRST CURRICULUM YEAR AND 3 STUDENTS AT THE SECOND CURRICULUM YEAR LEVEL. THREE STUDENTS WILL GRADUATE FROM THE PRACTICAL NURSING BASIC PROGRAM THIS WEEK. REVIEWOVERALL, THE STUDENTS ARE VERY HAPPY WITH THE OVERALL PROGRAM. WHILE ADMITTEDLY A DIFFICULT PROGRAM, THE GRADUATING STUDENTS VOICED THAT THEY ARE FEELING PREPARED TO GO INTO PRACTICE. THE STUDENTS LIKE THE WORK ON HEAD TO TOE ASSESSMENTS EACH SEMESTER THAT BRINGS BOTH CLASSES TOGETHER TO WORK ON THE ASSESSMENT. THIS REMAINS VERY WELL RECEIVED AND STUDENTS ARE DEMONSTRATING STRONGER ASSESSMENT SKILLS. THE STUDENTS ARE ALSO PLEASED WITH THE PRACTICE OF HAVING THE SECOND YEAR STUDENTS DO THEIR FINAL CASE STUDY IN FRONT OF BOTH GROUPS OF NURSING STUDENTS. THE OPEN LAB TIME AND THE AVAILABILITY OF THE FACULTY WERE NOTED TO BE SIGNIFICANT COMPONENTS TO THE NURSING PROGRAM AS WELL.STUDENTS ARE HAPPY WITH THE TEXTBOOKS IN GENERAL. STUDENT RECOMMENDATIONS ARE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT WHEN ORDERING TEXTBOOKS FOR EACH SEMESTER. THE STUDENTS EXPRESSED A REQUEST FOR MORE WORKBOOKS WITH THE VARIOUS TEXTS WHICH WE HAVE TRIED TO ACCOMMODATE. THEY DISLIKED THE PSYCH/MENTAL HEALTH TEXTBOOK WHICH HAD BEEN CHANGED IN THE FALL OF 2015 AND AGAIN IN 2016 AT THE REQUEST OF STUDENTS AND USING THE STUDENT CHOICE. THIS BOOK WILL BE CHANGED THIS COMING FALL AGAIN. HOWEVER, PORTIONS OF THE NEW TEXT WERE UTILIZED DURING THE FALL 2016 CLASS FOR STUDENT INPUT. WHILE THE STUDENTS WERE SPLIT BETWEEN THE CURRENT BOOK AND THE TRIAL BOOK, TESTING GRADES IMPROVED FOR TWO OF THREE STUDENTS USING THE TRIAL BOOK. STUDENTS CONTINUE TO EXPRESS CONCERN REGARDING THE AVAILABILITY OF THE NURSING LAB FOR PRACTICE HOURS. HAVING THE SECOND YEAR CLASSES SCHEDULED IN STC 129 HAS ALLEVIATED SOME OF THE PROBLEMS WITH HAVING THE PRACTICE LAB OPEN. MAKING SURE TO KEEP THE LAB OPEN DURING AT LEAST TWO OF THE LUNCH HOURS HAS HELPED AS WELL. IN ADDITION, A LAB TECHNICIAN POSITION HAS BEEN APPROVED AND ADVERTISED FOR WHICH WOULD ENABLE THE NURSING LAB TO BE OPEN LONGER HOURS.HESI SUBJECT TESTS WERE INCORPORATED THIS YEAR FOR WEEKLY TESTING FOR THE CAPSTONE COURSE AS TEST PREPARATION. STUDENTS WERE VERY HAPPY WITH THE STUDY MATERIALS THAT WERE WITH THE TESTING AND THAT THE TESTING PROVIDED REGULAR PRACTICE AT THE COMPUTERIZED TESTING THAT THEY WILL EXPERIENCE FOR THEIR LICENSURE EXAM.HESI EXAM SCORES WERE DOWN THIS YEAR. OF THE STUDENTS WHO TESTED, 2 OF THESE STUDENTS ARE AT RISK. THESE STUDENTS HAVE WORKED ON PLANNING FOR TEST PREPARATION FOR THEIR LICENSING EXAMS. THIS YEAR'S GRADUATES NEVER MISSED A CLASS OR PRACTICE EXPERIENCE DURING THE ENTIRE SPRING SEMESTER. THEIR PERFORMANCE SKILLS REFLECT THIS. THIS GROUP STRUGGLES WITH SIGNIFICANT TEST ANXIETY AND PERFORMANCE ANXIETY. THIS IS REFLECTED IN THEIR PAPER AND COMPUTER TESTING.ACTIONSUSE OF MYSBC HAS INCREASED IN THE DEPARTMENT. STUDENT USE CONTINUES TO BE SPORADIC. IT DOES TAKE THE STUDENTS A PERIOD OF TIME TO LEARN TO USE MYSBC FOR TESTING AND SUCH. CAPSTONE CONTINUES WITH A WEEKLY CLASS WHICH STUDENTS THIS YEAR FOUND VALUE IN WHILE DOING THE TESTING AND REVIEWS. THE STUDENTS STRESSED THIS WAS A BENEFICIAL EXPERIENCE AND RECOMMENDED THAT BOTH THE WEEKLY TESTING AND THE WEEKLY MEETINGS BE CONTINUED AS WELL AS THE COMPUTERIZED TESTING.THE DEPARTMENT WILL BE SEEKING AN ADJUNCT INSTRUCTOR FOR THE FUNDAMENTAL NURSING SKILLS CLINICAL COMPONENT FOR THE FALL SEMESTER. IN ADDITION, THE SCHEDULING OF CLASSROOM TIME WILL NEED TO BE EXAMINED TO FACILITATE NURSING LAB ACCESS.NORTH DAKOTA BOARD OF NURSINGTHE ANNUAL REPORT WAS SUBMITTED TO THE NORTH DAKOTA BOARD OF NURSING IN SEPTEMBER AND WAS ACCEPTED. THE SITTING BULL COLLEGE NURSING PROGRAM HAS FULL ACCREDITATION THROUGH NOVEMBER 2020. A COMPLIANCE REPORT WAS SUBMITTED IN THE FALL OF 2016. THIS INCLUDED THE ADDITIONAL ASSESSMENT/REVIEW OF THE OVERALL DEPARTMENT. THIS ASSESSMENT PIECE IS BEING DONE FOR THE FIRST TIME THIS MAY. AN ADDITIONAL COMPLIANCE REPORT WAS SUBMITTED 2 MAY 2017 DOCUMENTING PROGRESS ON A SUCCESSION PLAN AND ON PERSONNEL AND WORKLOAD ISSUES THAT THE SURVEYORS AND ND BOARD OF NURSING HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT.2. GENERAL STUDIES - BACHELOR OF SCIENCE, ASSOCIATE OF ARTSSTATISTICSTHE BACHELORS OF SCIENCE IN GENERAL STUDIES PROGRAM WILL GRADUATE FOUR STUDENTS. ONE OF THE FOUR STUDENTS WILL GRADUATE WITH A CONCENTRATION IN NATIVE AMERICAN STUDIES. FA-16 THERE WERE 9 STUDENTS IN THE DEGREE PROGRAM; SP-17 THERE WERE 4 ENROLLED IN THE BACHELOR'S PROGRAM. THE ASSOCIATES OF ARTS IN GENERAL STUDIES WILL GRADUATE TWO STUDENTS. FA-16 THERE WERE 46 STUDENTS IN THE ASSOCIATES DEGREE PROGRAM & SP-17 THERE WERE 30 ENROLLED, ALL OF WHOM ARE ADVISED BY THREE DIFFERENT ADVISORS. AS ADVISORS, WE TRY TO HAVE STUDENTS MAJOR IN ANOTHER DEGREE PLAN BY THE END OF THEIR 2ND SEMESTER. REVIEWALL STUDENTS IN THE BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN GENERAL STUDIES DEGREE PROGRAM TAKE THE HUM 497 CAPSTONE COURSE FOR ONE CREDIT TO GATHER ASSESSMENT DATA. THE FACULTY OF RECORD FOR THIS CLASS DELIVERS THE COURSE INDEPENDENT STUDY ON MYSBC. THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE IN COMPLETION FOR THE COURSE IN THE PAST, BUT 16-17 STUDENTS COMPLETED WITH MORE URGING. THE PROGRAM IS STILL CONSIDERING OFFERING THREE OPTIONS FOR THE FINAL PROJECT: 1) RESEARCH; 2) SERVICE LEARNING; 3) DIGITAL STORYTELLING. THE AA GENERAL STUDIES DEGREE ADDED A ONE CREDIT CAPSTONE COURSE TO HELP ASSIST IN GATHERING ASSESSMENT DATA. STUDENTS SHOULD MEET WITH THE INSTRUCTOR FACE TO FACE TWO TIMES THROUGHOUT THE SEMESTER TO TALK ABOUT ISSUES AND GO THROUGH MATERIALS AND PROFESSIONALISM REQUIREMENTS. A RECORDED ORIENTATION ONLINE MIGHT ALSO HELP WITH THE OUTCOMES OF THE CLASS. ACTIONSFACULTY OF RECORD WILL MEET AT LEAST TWICE A SEMESTER WITH ALL CAPSTONE COURSE STUDENTS (297 & 497). MORE CONVERSATION IN THE DEPARTMENT WILL BE HELD ON HOW TO ASSESS STUDENTS IN THE BEGINNING, MIDDLE, AND END OF THE DEGREE PLAN WITH EASE. 3.
