| 520 | |a This document describes the Accelerated Associate's Degree Program for Licensed Practical Nurses (LPN) at the Inter-American University of Puerto Rico. The program, targeting unemployed LPNs living in San Juan, Puerto Rico, allows students to complete an associate's degree in one year. Fifty-four students enrolled during the first year and 50% of these students were employed LPNs, despite the focus on unemployed nurses. The measures of program success reported in the study are a 73% retention rate, a 56% graduation rate, and a 95% pass rate on the Associate Nursing Board Exam. Essential program components include: (1) strong commitment by university administrators to accommodate the learning needs of non-traditional students (e.g., granted credit for competencies developed as part of LPN training through placement exams and modification of financial aid policies); (2) implementation of innovative teaching methods (e.g., introduction of trimester format and tutorial sessions); (3) provision of academic support and case management services; and (4) development of strong relationships between university and local hospitals. Program challenges include faculty that were not trained to work with non-traditional students and the need to add an extra trimester to the program to accommodate students who fail courses. Appended is the interview protocol. (RC) | ||
