Currently, many schools of nursing across the country have implemented various models of post-baccalaureate nursing education. There has been minimal published evaluation of this type of nursing education. In September 1989, a large urban university in the Midwest instituted a baccalaureate program for non-nurse college graduates. After completion of prerequisite science and other liberal arts courses, students complete the nursing program within a 13-month period. This study compared the performance, measured by Schwirian's 6-Dimension Scale (1978), and academic achievement of students in the accelerated nursing program for students with college degrees (N = 27) and students in a traditional nursing program (N = 29). Data also were collected on selected demographic variables. Findings indicated significant differences between the groups. Students in the accelerated group scored higher on nursing performance and passing rate on state board examination. The traditional group reported significantly more hours worked and less hours studied. There were no significant differences between the groups in terms of age, gender, and grade point average.
目前，全国许多护理学院都实施了各种模式的护理学学士后教育。关于这类护理教育的已发表评估极少。1989年9月，中西部一所大型城市大学为非护理专业的大学毕业生设立了一个学士学位项目。在完成必备的理科和其他文科课程后，学生在13个月内完成护理项目。本研究比较了拥有大学学位的学生（N = 27）在加速护理项目中的表现（以施维里安的六维度量表（1978年）衡量）和学业成绩，以及传统护理项目中的学生（N = 29）的表现和学业成绩。还收集了选定的人口统计学变量数据。研究结果表明两组之间存在显著差异。加速组的学生在护理表现和州委员会考试通过率方面得分更高。传统组报告的工作时间明显更多，学习时间更少。两组在年龄、性别和平均绩点方面没有显著差异。
