Student Access Testing Kaplan (CIPP) model provides a comprehensive framework for evaluating nursing programs, addressing needs, strategies, activities, and outcomes. Key aspects of evaluation include monitoring student progress, assessing learning outcomes, and gathering feedback from stakeholders such as students, faculty, and clinical partners. Evaluation methods should be both formative and summative, incorporating standardized tests, clinical performance assessments, and graduate surveys. The evaluation process should align with accreditation standards and regulatory requirements while also reflecting the program's unique goals and context. Regular review and adjustment of the evaluation plan ensure its ongoing relevance and effectiveness. To maintain objectivity and comprehensiveness, nursing programs benefit from utilizing external resources and standardized testing programs to supplement their evaluation efforts and prepare students for licensure examinations. Given our historical use of Kaplan and the CIPP model, and the need to maintain consistency in requirements and standards, Kaplan is a sole source provider, as changing providers would disrupt our established evaluation processes and impact our accreditation status and student outcomes.
