Area of Science:

  • Nursing Education
  • Healthcare Policy
  • Educational Mobility

Background:

  • Historically, Iowa's nursing workforce comprised primarily diploma and associate degree graduates.
  • Pre-1991, baccalaureate degree access for registered nurses (RNs) existed, but direct articulation pathways were absent.
  • A 1988 Iowa Board of Nursing recommendation spurred the development of a statewide plan.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the development and implementation of the Iowa Articulation Plan for Nursing Education: RN to Baccalaureate.
  • To detail the collaborative process involving nurse educators and service representatives.
  • To share outcomes and the adaptability of the plan for national use.

Main Methods:

  • Collaboration between nursing educators across all educational levels.
