Thesis / Dissertation Description

Nursing education is at a crossroad today. Stressors in nursing programs include expanding enrollments to meet growing workforce demands for more registered nurses, demanding workloads with low average nursing faculty salaries compared to practice peers, and growing numbers of faculty retirements. The purpose of this study was to identify the cultural characteristics of a nursing education center of excellence. The primary research question was: What important factors constitute the culture of a nursing program previously determined to be a high-performing environment? Using naturalistic inquiry methods, one nursing program case study designated as National League for Nursing (NLN) Centers of Excellence in Nursing Education™ was examined through an extended immersion experience. Following voluntary informed consent, data collection occurred over several months through prolonged immersion including six study visits, multiple observations, formal/informal interviews, and artifact/document collection and review.
