Using an Innovative Approach to Evaluate RN-to-BSN Students' Experience With Condensed 8-Week Courses
Background:
Associate degree RNs pursuing a baccalaureate nursing degree represent a diverse student population, many of whom balance coursework, family needs, and work demands. In response to student feedback, faculty condensed traditional university 16-week courses into 8-week course blocks.
Method:
Student performance and satisfaction for the new delivery model were evaluated via an online survey, review of aggregated final grades, and incompletes and withdrawals. Free-text survey responses were analyzed using within-methods data triangulation via application of manual content analysis, natural language processing (NLP), and use of the Goodwin statistic.
Results:
Students described an increased ability to focus, and NLP revealed students had above average levels of satisfaction and below average fatigue. There were no statistically significant differences in student grades, withdrawals, or incompletes.
Conclusion:
The 8-week courses did not negatively affect student grades or experiences, and within-methods data triangulation was found to be an effective analysis technique with RN-to-baccalaureate nursing students.

01:23RNA Structure
The basic structure of RNA consists of a five-carbon sugar and one of four nitrogenous bases. Although most RNA is single-stranded, it can form complex secondary and tertiary structures. Such structures play essential roles in the regulation of transcription and translation.
Different Types of RNA Have the Same Basic Structure
There are three main types of ribonucleic acid (RNA): messenger RNA (mRNA), transfer RNA (tRNA), and ribosomal RNA (rRNA). All three RNA types consist of a...
01:23Types of RNA
Three main types of RNA are involved in protein synthesis: messenger RNA (mRNA), transfer RNA (tRNA), and ribosomal RNA (rRNA). These RNAs perform diverse functions and can be broadly classified as protein-coding or non-coding RNA. Non-coding RNAs play important roles in the regulation of gene expression in response to developmental and environmental changes. Non-coding RNAs in prokaryotes can be manipulated to develop more effective antibacterial drugs for human or animal use.
