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." -Beverly
