The limited supply of BSN nurses hinders efforts to increase patient care quality and address health disparities. In largely rural and economically disadvantaged areas, associate degree prepared nurses provide the majority of nursing services. To address a statewide need, a BSN Program and 3 ADN Programs formed a partnership to take BSN education to rural and medically underserved areas. This article describes the program planning, implementation, and evaluation using an adapted assessment framework with partnership principles as its foundation. Interactive television, internet education components, local clinical experiences, and distant nursing faculty liaisons were used. The nursing course sequence was completed by 101 of 102 students. Hall's Professionalism Scale, the California Critical Thinking Disposition Inventory, and the California Critical Thinking Skills Test measured the increases found in professional socialization and critical thinking. Use of the adapted theoretical framework represented a strategic approach to developing a distance delivered nursing education program.
护理学士（BSN）护士供应有限，阻碍了提高患者护理质量和解决健康差异问题的努力。在大部分农村和经济弱势地区，拥有护理学副学士学位的护士提供了大部分护理服务。为满足全州范围的需求，一个BSN项目和三个护理学副学士学位（ADN）项目建立了合作关系，将BSN教育推广到农村和医疗服务不足的地区。本文描述了该项目的规划、实施和评估，采用了一个以合作原则为基础的适应性评估框架。使用了交互式电视、网络教育组件、当地临床经验和远程护理教师联络。102名学生中有101名完成了护理课程序列。霍尔职业素养量表、加利福尼亚批判性思维倾向问卷和加利福尼亚批判性思维技能测试测量了在职业社会化和批判性思维方面的提升。使用适应性理论框架代表了一种开发远程护理教育项目的战略方法。
