- Job placement rate is at least 90% of program graduates (who respond to the survey and are seeking employment) are employed in a nursing position within one year of graduation.
- Graduate satisfaction is at least 90% of program graduates (who respond to the survey and are seeking employment) report satisfaction with their preparation to fulfill each of the role-specific competencies within one year of graduation.
- Employer satisfaction is at least 90% of employers of program graduates (who respond to the survey)report satisfaction with the new graduate’s preparation to fulfill role-specific competencies within one year after graduation.
