Recommendations
 Continue efforts to increase the response rate to
100%
 Monitor changes in faculty characteristics for
potential impact on the delivery of nursing programs
 Evaluate potential strategies to address the factors
limiting enrollment
 Encourage development of pathways for faculty
diversity
 Encourage / support BSN completion in Wisconsin
2013 WCN Education Survey
 The Survey was distributed to the dean/directors of
nursing programs in the state in June
 Three principal investigators: Stephanie Stewart,
Barbara Pinekenstein, Brent MacWilliams
 Follow up calls will be made to increase participation
Academic Progression Pilots
 Rural Pilot
 Midsize Pilot
 Urban pilot
Rural Pilot
•
•
•
•
Black River Falls Hospital and UW Eau Claire
Distributed readiness survey to nurses Spring 2014
Shared results of survey to nurses May 2014
Working with UW Eau Claire to encourage nurses to
return for BSN
• Time and cost major barriers
• Next steps creating structure to address barriers
Midsize Pilot
•
•
•
•
•
Bellin Health and Bellin College
Survey distributed to nurses
54% BSN or higher over 900 nurses
39% return rate from diploma and ADN nurses
Working with Mary Mancini to develop efficient and
relevant program
• Collaborating with Nurses Leaders from health
system to define course coursework
• CNO and president defining costs and financial
incentives
Urban Pilot
• Urban Initiative – UWM
• Beginning spring 2013, Sally Lundeen and
Doris Schoneman collaborated with Desi
Levy and Nancy Vrabec of MATC to
further ensure smooth transition for the
ADN to BSN.
Urban Pilot
• UWM offered a leadership course physically at
UWM. MATC accepted this course in lieu of the ADN
leadership course.
• Twenty two MATC students completed the course in
spring of 2014.
• UWM offered the Community Health Nursing course
physically at MATC. Thirteen practicing nurses
enrolled in that course.
