Administrative Organization Admission Criteria Advisory Committees Allied Health Occupations Education Curriculum Educational Facilities Educational Finance Enrollment Trends Faculty Library Facilities National Surveys Nurses Nursing Education Postsecondary Education Practical Nursing Program Evaluation Program Length Questionnaires Student Characteristics "Education for Practical Nursing, 1960," the report of a survey, recommended the development of criteria for program evaluation. Published in 1965, these criteria served as the basis for a questionnaire to collect data on 722 practical nursing programs. Data analyzed in the light of the 1960 survey showed (1) an upward trend in students' educational backgrounds, (2) fewer programs paying student stipends, (3) a written philosophy and objectives for most programs, (4) more clinical instructors employed by the controlling agency and learning experiences selected by the instructors, (5) more programs including care of mentally or emotionally disturbed patients, (6) experimentation in providing an integrated curriculum, (7) inadequacy of library holdings in many programs, and (8) serious dropout problems in some programs. In 61 Manpower Development and Training Act (MDTA) programs, analyzed separately, wide variations were found. Some recommendations were for (1) utilization of effective screening tests, (2) faculty selection on the basis of teaching preparation and knowledge of practical nursing education as well as a degree, (3) budgetary provision for adequate libraries, (4) discouragement of programs with small enrollments, and (5) studies of available educational and clinical resources and faculty before initiation of new programs.
