A Professional Development Educator Primer on Dual Admission Academic Progression
Journal of Continuing Education in Nursing
|January 16, 2019
Summary
Community colleges are vital for educating nurses to meet workforce demands. The dual admission model supports academic progression for registered nurses (RNs) in underserved areas.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Healthcare Workforce Development
- Community College Initiatives
Background:
- The Institute of Medicine's Future of Nursing report emphasizes a need for a more educated RN workforce.
- Community colleges are essential for training entry-level nurses, particularly for underserved regions.
- Addressing nursing shortages requires strategic educational pathways.
Purpose of the Study:
- To highlight the role of community colleges in nursing education.
- To introduce the National Education Progression in Nursing (NEPIN) as a facilitator of academic advancement.
- To examine the effectiveness of dual admission/concurrent enrollment models in nursing programs.
Main Methods:
- Literature review on nursing education trends and workforce needs.
- Analysis of the impact of community college nursing programs on regional healthcare.
- Case study or description of the dual admission/concurrent enrollment model.
Main Results:
- Community colleges are a key source of newly educated nurses.
- The dual admission/concurrent enrollment model facilitates seamless progression for nursing students.
- NEPIN supports initiatives aimed at increasing RN educational attainment.
Conclusions:
- Community colleges are critical partners in achieving the Future of Nursing recommendations.
- Academic progression models like dual admission are crucial for developing a highly educated RN workforce.
- Support for initiatives like NEPIN can strengthen nursing education and address healthcare disparities.

Nurses are responsible for caring for patients during birth, death, illness, and healing. Professional values guide the decisions and actions that nurses make in their careers. If nurses know the decisions and actions to take, providing patients with exceptional care is possible.
The values that are the foundation of the nursing profession are altruism, autonomy, human dignity, and social justice.

Tumor progression is a phenomenon where the pre-formed tumor acquires successive mutations to become clinically more aggressive and malignant. In the 1950s, Foulds first described the stepwise progression of cancer cells through successive stages.
Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...

4.8K
The mammalian target of rapamycin or mTOR protein was discovered in 1994 due to its direct interaction with rapamycin. The protein gets its name from a yeast homolog called TOR. The mTOR protein complex in mammalian cells plays a major role in balancing anabolic processes such as the synthesis of proteins, lipids, and nucleotides and catabolic processes, such as autophagy in response to environmental cues, such as availability of nutrients and growth factors.
