Optional : Key Element IV-C

Is there any other information that the program would like to provide related to this key element?

At the time of the visit, we only had a post-licensure RN-BSN program. We added our BSN generic program in 2023 and have had no graduates yet.

Key Element IV-D Certification pass rates demonstrate program effectiveness.

This key element is not applicable to a degree or certificate program that does not prepare individuals for certification examinations or does not yet have individuals who have taken certification examinations. Elaboration: The master’s, DNP, and post-graduate APRN certificate programs demonstrate achievement of required program outcomes regarding certification. For programs that prepare students for certification, certification pass rates are obtained for those completers taking each examination, even when national certification is not required to practice in a particular state. For programs that prepare students for certification, data are provided regarding the number of completers taking each certification examination and the number that passed. A program is required to provide these data regardless of the number of test takers. A program that prepares students for certification demonstrates that it meets the certification pass rate of 80%, for each examination, in any one of the following ways: • the pass rate for each certification examination is 80% or higher for first-time takers for the most recent calendar year (January 1 through December 31); • the pass rate for each certification examination is 80% or higher for all takers (first-time and repeaters who pass) for the most recent calendar year; • the pass rate for each certification examination is 80% or higher for all first-time takers over the three most recent calendar years; or • the pass rate for each certification examination is 80% or higher for all takers (first-time and repeaters who pass) over the three most recent calendar years. The program identifies which of the above options was used to calculate the pass rate. The program provides certification pass rate data for each examination but, when calculating the pass rate described above, may combine certification pass rate data for multiple examinations relating to the same role and population.
