Using the CIPP Model to Assess Nursing Education Program Quality and Merit
Nursing programs must maintain a high-quality curriculum that graduates exemplary nurses. Systematic evaluation of key components of nursing education is required. Stufflebeam's Context, Input, Process, and Product model allows for evaluation of the quality and merit of end-of-life care education within a nursing program. Data analysis identified missing content, program strengths, and curricular redundancies within the program. When used appropriately, Stufflebeam's model serves as a valuable guide for in-depth curriculum evaluation. (Source: Teaching and Learning in Nursing)

Resilience
Taking a page out of Donna Meyer's book, I am writing to you as I fly across the country to proudly represent Organization for Associate Degree Nursing at a national convention. As I contemplate what to write about for this column, I was struck with how many individuals I knew, myself included, who have recently experienced a significant change or transition in the past few months. The loss of a loved one, a significant accident, a job change, a natural disaster, a relocation, the wedding of child, and the birth of a child were just a few that come to mind.

Sustaining the Most Ethical Profession
For the past 15years, the nursing profession has topped the Gallup survey of most trusted professions (American Nurses Association (2016). During the same timeframe, the American Nurses Association revised and updated its Code of Ethics (2015). The past few years have been a time of some ethical conflict and moral distress for me as a nurse and an educator. I saw firsthand how academic dishonesty and cheating created turmoil for nursing faculty and students. Brave students, who witnessed what they perceived as a violation of the code of student conduct, came forward and described in detail how it impacted them. (Source: Te...
