2 Research Purpose The purpose of this survey study was to examine the feasibility of starting a graduate nursing program at a new university service area in a rural area of USA. This is the forth feasibility survey completed by the Caylor School of Nursing (CSON) at the Lincoln Memorial University, Harrogate, Tennessee, USA, to examine feasibility of graduate nursing programs in rural areas.
3 Caylor School of Nursing (CSON) Mission Statement In agreement with the University s mission and goals, the Faculty of the Caylor School of Nursing strives to instill responsibility and high moral/ethical standards in the preparation of quality nurses, at multiple levels of nursing education, through superior academic programs at the undergraduate and graduate level. Specifically, the mission of the Faculty is to prepare nurses with the ASN, BSN, and MSN degree, to assist individuals, families, communities, and society as they adapt to changes in physiological needs, role function, self-concept, and interdependent relationships during health and illness.
4 Caylor School of Nursing (CSON) Mission Statement The Caylor School of Nursing seeks to respond to the needs of nursing education and healthcare in the surrounding communities by preparing nurses at multiple levels and by providing continuing education/professional development opportunities that are rooted in knowledge, research, and other scholarly activities.
5 Building an Evidence-Based Graduate Nursing Program 2004 Nurse survey 2005 Employer Survey 2007 Nurse Survey 2010 Nurse and Employer Feasibility Studies 2006 FNP 2008 CRNA 2011 PMHNP
6 Background 2004 Nurse Survey In 2004, Caylor School of Nursing at LMU conducted a survey of BSN prepared nurses (N=216) in the university service areas. The findings indicated a desire for an increase in advanced practice nursing education opportunities in Appalachia. 1) 80% desired a nurse practitioner gradate degree 2) 75% of which respondents wanted an FNP 3) The majority of them planned to start pursing this option within three years 4) The majority requested a program with both seat and webbased courses in addition to clinical experiences
7 Background 2005 Employer Survey In 2005, a Nurse Practitioner Employment Survey was distributed to selected regional health care facilities in the university service areas. 73% of the responding agencies reported utilization of NPs (preferring FNPs) and planned to continue using NPs within their agencies
8 MSN program established FNP in 2006 In 2006, the MSN degree program was first established to offer nurses further educational options and provide surrounding communities with Family Nurse Practitioners to meet identified health care needs. The MSN program, FNP concentration, provides a flexible format for either part-time or full-time nursing students currently working in area hospitals and health care facilities. The program allows full-time students to complete the MSN degree in a minimum of 17 months.
9 Background 2007 Nurse Survey Similar to the 2004 Surveys of RNs and RN students (N=216), the 2007 survey of nurses (N=176) continued to report the desire for an increase in advanced practice nursing education opportunities in Appalachia. 1) the 2007 survey reported that 75% desired to get an MSN with a Nurse Anesthesia focus. 2) two focus groups of LMU health care agencies met with LMU administration in Spring 2007 to discussion health care workforce needs. The number one need of all participants from LMU s service area was CRNAs
10 MSN program expanded NA in 2008 In 2008, the nurse anesthesia concentration (NA) was added to the MSN degree program. The nurse anesthesia concentration at LMU can be completed in 28 months of full-time study and requires 88 credit hours of graduate course work including six semesters of clinical practice. Full-time status is required. The Post-Master s Certificate option is available.
11 2010 Feasibility Survey This study required a one-time completion of the survey questionnaire, either by nurses or employers of nurses. The study included a convenience sample of 29 nurses and 14 potential employers of advanced nurse practitioners. It took approximately 5 minutes to complete each questionnaire. Participation was strictly voluntary. Completion of the questionnaire was used to verify participants consent to participate in the study.
12 Data Analysis Data collection were completed in the fall of Data analysis were completed in the spring of 2011 Descriptive statistics are used to better understand the needs and wants of local nurses and potential employers of nurses with graduate degrees.

28 SWOT Analysis Strengths (S) Included both nurses and employers Allow comparisons by using same rating scale Including open-ended questions Weaknesses (W) Small sample size (Nurse N=29; Employer N=14) Convenience sample Single healthcare facility Low response rates among employers (36.8%)
29 SWOT Analysis (continued) Opportunities (O) Preparing nurses at the graduate level Responding respond to the needs of nursing education and healthcare in the surrounding communities by preparing nurses at graduate level Threats (T) Recent economic recession in USA Several existing FNP programs in the nearby areas Newly launched FNP program in the service area
30 Why not FNP? Four main reasons for us not launching our new FNP program in the new service area Small Sample Size Single Survey Site Recent economic recession Newly launched FNP program nearby
31 Program expanded further PMHNP in 2011 As we continued to live up to our mission in seeking to respond to the needs of nursing education and healthcare in the surrounding communities, the school received phone calls and inquiries for Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner. In January 2011, the Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner was added to our MSN degree program. The PMHNP concentration at LMU can be completed in 12 months of full-time study and requires 41 credit hours of graduate course work including 500 clinical hours. The Post Master s Certificate option is available.
32 Implications The knowledge gained may also allow nurse researchers to utilize this knowledge to plan, implement, and support culturally sensitive educational initiatives for graduate nursing programs. Understanding gained from this survey study will aid nurse educators and clinicians in identifying systematic ways to support nursing education through graduate studies. Lastly, the survey data are important for approval and accreditation processes and should be incorporated in the systematic plan for evaluation of graduate nursing programs.
33 Program Develop Cycle Mission Outcome Evaluation Feasibility Studies Program Development Focus Groups SWOT Analysis
34 Conclusion The findings from this feasibility study provides information about the most effective and efficient ways to design, development, implement, and evaluate a graduate nursing program for nurses serving rural communities. Conducting such feasibility studies assists the educational institution in establishing if a need for educational programs exists in an area before proceeding with instituting a program.
