Nursing Program SLOs

DESCRIPTION

Santa Ana College began developing SLOs for the college in Fall 2001. A college-
wide task force created SLOs in the areas of communication skills, thinking and 
reasoning, diversity, civic responsibility, life skills, and careers. Each department 
was asked to develop outcomes for their programs and courses that aligned with 
the college outcomes. 

The Nursing Department developed outcomes for all courses as part of a 
curriculum revision that began in Fall 2003. The revised curriculum takes effect 
in Fall 2004. Because nursing has accrediting agencies that specifically evaluate 
outcomes, the transition to student learning outcomes was not difficult. The 
department uses a behavioral objective approach in evaluating students in 
theory and clinical courses, which posed some challenges in moving to an 
outcome approach for course objectives.
