Nursing Summer 2017 Student SLO Report

Q3 - What did you like about this program?

that it was a 2 year program with the opportunity to take the classes in less time. I think there are some great teachers who really want their students to succeed.

I liked about the way the instructors took their time to teach and explain in class and in the clinical. They made the students understand the concept from class and apply them in clinical area.

The clinical faculty, experiences, and facilities were great.

It's too long

Most instructors were great and truely cared about outcomes.

I like that it was a 2 year program and you could do it in less time. I also thought there are some great teachers who really care about their students success

I liked the amount of hands on time that we had, more so compared to surrounding schools it seemed. After being at another university where I was just a number I feel like instructors really take the time to know you and work with you to help you succeed. I would recommend this program to anyone!

I liked the clinical experiences and the hands on learning

the 4 semesters in a row was a nice timeframe option to have

VERY STRUCtured and organized

I liked that I was able to be with fellow LPN to ADN students. Forth semester instructors.

It was fast paced, didn't get bored.

I liked the program overall with the variety of clinical settings and education.

The community feeling of the program. I enjoyed the small class sizes, the connections with staff and peers, and the intimate and caring feeling of the program. I feel that I got an incredible education and great clinical experiences.

The option to do the fast track option and get finished in a year and a half.

Q4 - What would you change about this program?

I think there should be more opportunities for students. Some of the teachers especially adjunct didn't have the enough training. I think some of the expectations for students were not laid out well. There should be an informational meeting before each semester for student, and I feel transition was very poorly organized, leaving students with a week until it was suppose to start and still had not heard from their preceptor. I think the test throughout the program should reflex the NCLEX: more multiple choice, one question at a time, and exhibit questions. I feel unprepared for the NCLEX

Mental health and management to be face to face.

Have more frequent exams that focus on less material.

Do it 2 weeks before the finals

Organization and choosing transition preceptors/sites

I think there should be more opportunities for students. Some of the teachers especially adjunct didn't have the enough training. I think some of the expectations for students were not laid out well. There should be an informational meeting before each semester for student, and I feel transition was very poorly organized, leaving students with a week until it was suppose to start and still had not heard from their preceptor. I think the test throughout the program should reflex the NCLEX: more multiple choice, one question at a time, and exhibit questions. I feel unprepared for the NCLEX

I would change the expectations at clinical, I felt like some students were held to higher or lower standards, everyone should be held responsible for the same things. Maybe a brief on pharmacology before the course starts, I feel like it is something that we can never get too much of.

More guidance and explanations of what's expected in the coming semesters.

I think there would be more benefit to spending an additional week in 2nd semester on the med surg floors rather than the 6 weeks spent at the long term care facility.

Shorter days in taking the ATI exam

Have management blended. Some how have ati work properly when needed for testing purposes. Each time I have came in for ati testing we spend 30 min trying to get everyone logged into the test.

Management would have a face to face option. RN Predictor would be given after the final tests of the semester.

There has been some situations where there was a lack of communication among staff and clinical settings. Fixing those for future students would be a good idea. I.E. DEU changes and general confusion.

Increased communication regarding expectations for end of semester tests and beginning clinical course expectations and prerequisite expectations.

Nothing.

Coming from a diverse background it was not a big challenge to work with diverse population

I think there was some opportunity to work with diverse groups I think there is room for diversity in this program

I have caught myself saying before how I am just a CNA and oh I'll just be a nurse, but there is a lot of value and responsibility in both of those roles so it is important to remember. Caring for people is a privilege and seeing different populations and some lifestyle choices you might not agree with can be tough but it is important to remain professional

Q36 - CONCLUSION Please use this space to share any other feedback, comments, or

suggestions about your experience at Western Technical College.

This has been my best experience being in college. I would recommend to any individual who wants to become a NURSE ready to study and learn to join western Technical college.

Please have the predictor AFTER the other courses are completed, as you do with the Community & Mental Health ATI exams. Also, please do not have the Predictor AND the other testing on the same day!

It was a wonderful learning experience. The instructor worked well to help every student succeed.

Xxxx, Xxxx, and Xxxxx make this program stand above the rest.

Overall I have had a great experience, a big thanks to the dedicated instructors that offer their personal numbers that they can be reached at any time. They might not answer right away but they answer in a timely manner. Some instructors I think have had their better years and I did have some poor, not valuable experiences with clinical. Char, Xxxx, Xxx, and Xxxxx I can't say enough good things about!

The only problems I had with the program involved ATI and Gundersen Epic training. There were no clear directions or announcements of when EPIC training needed to be completed. Instead we received strongly worded e-mails saying we had by the end of day to complete. ATI was often problematic and involved calling ATI several times. I felt the instructors were all great and really wanted us to succeed. At times the paper work felt overwhelming but in the end I realized it helped me to better myself in the nursing field.

I recommend WTC for anyone pursuing a nursing degree. The classes are well structured, the instructors are professional and they allow students to get a feel for "real life" practice during clinicals.

Thank you so much. My experience has been wonderful. I am so grateful to this program. I leave excited for my future as an RN with a job already lined up. I just have to pass my NCLEX!
