    Evaluation of Newly Licensed RNs to Determine Success of Nursing Program: A Partnership Between Practice and Education
    (Wolters Kluwer, 2018-09) Bemis, Cynthia; School of Nursing
    The quality of nursing education can be improved significantly when academic institutions work closely with clinical partners. Data on how well newly licensed RNs (NLRNs) perform in a health care setting, specifically in the first year of practice, can assist schools of nursing (SONs) to identify strengths of a nursing program and areas for improvement. Historically, SONs have struggled to monitor the performance of NLRNs after they leave the educational setting. In addition, response rates to alumni and employer surveys are traditionally low for SONs because of movement among NLRNs, changes in mailing and/or e-mail address, changes in employment setting, and the time required for completing the survey.1 These challenges make it difficult to track the performance and progression of NLRNs in their first year of practice and throughout their nursing careers. The purpose of this report is to highlight how a large, metropolitan SON in the Midwest partnered with an academic health center to evaluate the performance of NLRNs during their transition to practice program and mapped their performance to the nursing program outcomes.

    INresearch.org
    (Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research, 2011-04-08) Hudson, Brenda
    The purpose of developing INresearch.org is to engage the public in research by giving them the opportunity to take a more proactive role in research while also allowing them to gain a better understanding of the types of research available through the universities and our clinical partners. Parents, legal guardians and caregivers have the ability to register themselves and/or their children or other dependent individuals. Users are also able to modify any of their personal information entered and/or the information about their dependents whenever it is convenient for them, making the amount of information shared by the individual completely customizable. Finally, users have the ability to remove themselves, and/or their constituents at any time and for any reason. INresearch.org allows the users to be connected to investigators by allowing investigators to contact volunteers about studies that are occurring locally. It is our hope that INresearch.org will be a valuable recruitment tool and help increase research participation for all institutions associated with the Indiana CTSI.
