Evaluative data collection includes two sections: the data acquired to evaluate patient outcomes and the time criteria for data collection.

Area of Science:

Nursing Education
Healthcare Professional Development

Background:

Associate degree nurses pursuing RN-BSN degrees often encounter duplicated health assessment coursework.
This duplication presents a significant barrier, increasing the time and financial cost of baccalaureate degree attainment.

Purpose of the Study:

To address the barrier of duplicated health assessment content for RN-BSN students.
To develop and implement an assessment competency evaluation to award course credit.

Main Methods:

The Northeast Team of the Ohio Action Coalition, comprising clinical and academic educators, designed an assessment competency evaluation.
This evaluation assesses both health assessment knowledge and clinical judgment skills.

Main Results:

Successful completion of the assessment competency evaluation grants credit for the health assessment course.
The evaluation offers a pathway for students to demonstrate existing competencies, potentially shortening time to degree.

Conclusions:

The developed assessment competency evaluation effectively addresses course duplication for RN-BSN students.
This initiative streamlines the baccalaureate degree process, reducing barriers for practicing nurses.
