BSN Assessment

Course and program outcomes are assessed by formative and summative standardized testing, evaluation of clinical and campus lab experiences and graduate performance on the National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN). Students complete standardized testing at the completion of selected courses within the curriculum to evaluate specific outcomes. See Standardized Testing Policies located in the Department of Nursing Student Handbook and undergraduate catalog for details regarding the administration of standardized exams across the Pre-Licensure Baccalaureate Nursing Program (BNP) curriculum and Post-Licensure (RN-BSN) curriculum.

Pre-licensure Baccalaureate Nursing program students must successfully complete the HESI RN Exit Exam with a minimum score of 900 in order to meet course requirements for NURB 499C: Advanced Nursing Practicum. Following graduation, each prelicensure student must complete the NCLEX-RN to gain licensure as a registered nurse.

Additional assessment procedures include baccalaureate nursing program surveys of graduates and employers.
