This project developed a comprehensive set of bachelor of science in nursing (BSN) completion messaging materials that associate degree in nursing (ADN) faculty can use to advise and encourage students to complete the BSN.
The Future of Nursing report calls for increasing the proportion of baccalaureate-prepared nurses to 80 percent by 2020. Faculty who teach in ADN programs have opportunities to advise students in advancing their nursing education yet often lack information to guide these conversations.
After development of BSN completion messaging materials, the products were evaluated by faculty from two Kansas ADN programs.
ADN faculty positively evaluated the format and content of the messaging materials. They appreciated having a variety of customizable resources to share with students in group and individual sessions.
Next steps include disseminating the messaging materials to ADN programs and practice-based nursing leaders to guide education conversations about academic progression of ADN-prepared nurses.
本项目开发了一套全面的护理学理学学士（BSN）完成信息材料，护理副学士学位（ADN）教员可利用这些材料为学生提供建议并鼓励他们完成BSN。
《护理的未来》报告呼吁到2020年将拥有学士学位的护士比例提高到80%。在ADN项目中授课的教员有机会为学生提供提升护理教育的建议，但往往缺乏指导这些谈话的信息。
在开发了BSN完成信息材料后，来自堪萨斯州两个ADN项目的教员对这些产品进行了评估。
ADN教员对信息材料的形式和内容给予了积极评价。他们很高兴有各种可定制的资源，可以在小组和个人会议中与学生分享。
下一步包括将信息材料分发给ADN项目和以实践为基础的护理领导者，以指导有关ADN护士学术进步的教育谈话。
