A nursing dean oversees an RN-BSN program and is evaluating whether or not program objectives have been met. The success of this program can be demonstrated when
a. attitudes of the returning RN students are reinforced in their identities.
b. graduates are proficient in new subjects learned during the program.
c. RNs resocialize into the role of baccalaureate-prepared nurses.
d. the nurses can articulate why having a BSN should be a requirement.
C
Socialization occurs at three important points in a nurse's career: when a new graduate leaves the educational setting and begins work as a professional nurse; when an experienced nurse changes work settings; and when the nurse takes on new roles, such as returning to school. The hope is that graduates will leave school with changes in behaviors and attitudes that reflect their new status as baccalaureate-prepared nurses.
It would be important for graduates to have a strong understanding of the subjects they encounter when they are back in school, but this choice is too narrow to support meeting broad goals.
Nurses articulating that the BSN should be required is too narrow in focus to demonstrate that the program's goals have been met.
