    The relative effectiveness of associate degree (AD) nursing programs in Washington State showed little correlation with state board examination results. State board exams should assess minimum competency, not overall program effectiveness.

    Area of Science:

    • Nursing Education
    • Healthcare Workforce Assessment

    Background:

    • Associate Degree (AD) nursing programs are crucial for workforce development.
    • Evaluating program effectiveness is essential for maintaining healthcare standards.
    • The role of state board examinations in program assessment is debated.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To determine the relative effectiveness of 13 Washington State AD nursing programs.
    • To assess the correlation between expert ratings of program effectiveness and state board examination performance.
    • To evaluate the suitability of state board examinations as a measure of overall program effectiveness.

    Main Methods:

    • 102 directors of nursing, AD nursing educators, and state board members rated program effectiveness.
    • Program rankings were compared with average state board examination pass rates.

  • Statistical analysis was used to determine the relationship between these two measures.

    • Main Results:

    • A small positive relationship was found between expert ratings of program effectiveness and state board examination averages.
    • This weak correlation indicates that examination scores do not fully reflect overall program quality.
    • Significant variation exists in how programs are perceived versus their students' examination performance.

    Conclusions:

    • State board examinations should not be utilized by agencies as a composite measure of AD nursing program effectiveness.
    • These examinations are best suited for assessing the minimum competency of individual nursing graduates.
    • Alternative or supplementary methods are needed to comprehensively evaluate nursing program effectiveness.
