The purpose of this exploratory research study was to assess employment performance outcomes of students who completed the prelicensure segment of an accelerated graduate entry program, the Masters Entry Program in Nursing (MEPN) at the University of California, San Francisco. MEPN RNs and their managers at three study sites completed a survey constructed from staff RN performance criteria position descriptions and participated in focus groups. Data were used to evaluate staff RN employment performance and how well the educational program prepared students for the staff RN role. Findings indicate that MEPN RNs' self-assessment and their managers' performance evaluation were rated as very effective in their staff RN roles, regardless of years of nursing experience. Recommendations for further research are discussed, encouraging the use of employment performance criteria as an additional way to evaluate the quality of nursing educational programs.
本探索性研究旨在评估完成加利福尼亚大学旧金山分校加速研究生入学项目（护理硕士入学项目，MEPN）预许可阶段的学生的就业绩效结果。MEPN 的注册护士及其在三个研究地点的经理完成了一项基于工作人员注册护士绩效标准职位描述的调查，并参加了焦点小组。这些数据用于评估工作人员注册护士的就业绩效以及教育计划如何使学生为工作人员注册护士角色做好准备。研究结果表明，无论护理经验年限如何，MEPN 注册护士的自我评估及其经理对其工作人员注册护士角色的绩效评估均被评为非常有效。讨论了进一步研究的建议，鼓励使用就业绩效标准作为评估护理教育计划质量的另一种方法。
