We report the success of a unique articulation Dual Degree Partnership in Nursing (DDPN) model. The process used to establish and implement this approach is described. Unlike typical 2+2 agreements between associate degree (AD) and bachelor degree (BS) nursing education programs, the DDPN is designed with a 1+2+1 sequence. Intended to attract high school students, this model provides the opportunity to earn two degrees (AD and BS) while experiencing a 4-year campus living and learning environment. This configuration was accomplished without compromising the integrity of either of the established programs. After collecting data over the past 6 years, this model demonstrates popularity with the traditional-aged student, as well as success from an academic perspective. Statistics on retention, graduation, and NCLEX® pass rates indicate the feasibility and success of the model. Based on the findings, the potential for replication is promising for other colleges interested in a similar collaboration.
我们成功地建立了一个独特的护理学双学位合作项目（DDPN）模式。本文描述了建立和实施该方法的过程。与传统的副学士（AD）和学士（BS）护理教育项目的 2+2 协议不同，DDPN 采用 1+2+1 的顺序设计。该模式旨在吸引高中生，为他们提供获得两个学位（AD 和 BS）的机会，同时体验 4 年的校园生活和学习环境。这种配置在不影响现有两个项目完整性的情况下实现。在过去 6 年收集数据后，该模式在传统年龄段学生中广受欢迎，从学术角度来看也取得了成功。保留率、毕业率和 NCLEX®通过率等统计数据表明了该模式的可行性和成功性。基于这些发现，对于其他有类似合作意向的学院来说，这种模式具有很好的复制潜力。
