Appointment - All-State Career School Proposal to 8

Implement a Practical Nursing Program 9

[Jennifer Eden, MSN, RNC-OB, Director of Nursing, All-10

State Career School; Genevieve M. Jensen, MS, RN, 11

Regional Dean of Nursing, Education Affiliates; and 12

Edward Rito, MBA, Area Campus President, Philadelphia, 13

presented before the Board seeking approval of its 14

proposal for a practical nursing program. 15

Ms. Eden noted the need for the nursing program 16

has been clearly established with over 20 support 17

letters from the community. She detailed the 18

curriculum and faculty for the program and the 19

oversight by and centralization of Education 20

Affiliates (Fortis Institute) Practical Nursing 21

Programs. 22

Ms. Eden answered Board questions regarding the 23

number of cohorts that would be admitted and discussed 24

the clinical settings that would allow students to 25


16

participate in a wide variety of clinical experiences. 1

Specifically, Ms. Eden explained that Corizon 2

Health, a healthcare contractor for the prisons in 3

Philadelphia and Garden Springs, would be the location 4

for the acute care experience. 5

Ms. Jensen discussed the Jeffries simulation 6

model to be utilized by the students and a simulation 7

council comprised of sim coordinators who share 8

information monthly. 9

Ms. Eden stated one instructor for every student 10

is available at each of the clinical sites to provide 11

a quality experience. It was noted that graduates of 12

the school would likely find employment at a long-term 13

care setting but that simulation would be conducted 14

for med/surg and OB in a hospital setting. 15

Mr. Rito reviewed the program's budget, including 16

tuition costs, fees costs and bad debt expense, which 17

he explained as unpaid collections of a student's 18

balance. He noted that a large majority of the 19

students would be funded by Title IV funding, 20

including Pell Grants and federal loans. 21

Mr. Rito noted the Fortis Institutes in Erie and 22

Scranton and 42 schools nationwide are operated by the 23

All-State Career School. Pass rates for the Scranton 24

location over the past five years were 87, 87, 75, 92, 25


17

95 and for the Erie location were 91, 96, 93, 87 and 1

100. Retention rates were also discussed. The Board 2

asked the program about their plans for accreditation, 3

and Ms. Jensen noted that they are considering ACEN. 4

Currently, their Scranton and Erie programs are not 5

ACEN accredited but are accredited by the Accrediting 6

Commission of Career Schools and Colleges (ACCSC). 7

The Board asked why there was no clinical component in 8

PNR 104-Basic Skills, and PNR 205-Concepts of 9

Leadership since there were student learning 10

objectives related to clinical care. Ms. Eden, 11

referring to the individual course objectives, 12

responded that PNR 104 is a fundamentals skills course 13

done in the lab using simulation. PNR 205 is an 14

online course that introduces concepts that address 15

theories of leadership, communication, problem, and 16

communication with other members of the health team. 17

*** 18

[Jason Owen exited the meeting at 10:11 a.m. and re-19

entered at 10:12 a.m.] 20

*** 21

[There was discussion that the calculation of hours 22

assigned to out of class work was based on the 23

preparation for exams, simulation, for skills lab, any 24

prep or any homework, and also the NCLEX questions and 25


18

other resources that a student may have reviewed. 1

Articulation agreements with regard to the RN/PN 2

programs were discussed. 3

Ms. Hendricks recused from the discussion on this 4

matter and would not participate in any 5

deliberations.] 6

19

Carlow University, addressed the Board with regard to 1

Carlow University's request for an additional site at 2

St. Vincent's College in Latrobe, Pennsylvania. 3

Dr. George provided an overview of the proposal. 4

She noted an amicable collaboration with St. Vincent. 5

Dr. George explained that St. Vincent College would 6

offer the core non-nursing courses and Carlow 7

University will offer the nursing courses. Students 8

would transfer from St. Vincent College to Carlow 9

after completion of core courses and would be enrolled 10

in the nursing program the first year and taught by 11

Carlow faculty. 12

Dr. George noted the process would be seamless to 13

ensure that students have a one-stop shop, onsite 14

support, and that the site request is a collaborative 15

request, respecting the standards at St. Vincent 16

College. 17

There was discussion about what credits would be 18

transferrable between Carlow and St. Vincent as well 19

as other colleges and universities. The college has 20

worked hard to ensure that the students in the first 21

year would get the basic courses that could be worked 22

into any of the science, mathematics and technology 23

programs. 24

It was noted that Excela Health has agreed to 25


20

provide the majority of clinical sites. Pediatric 1

sites would be provided by Children's Hospital of 2

Pittsburgh. 3

Ms. Dankanich answered questions with regard to 4

Carlow's budget. She stated the costs and revenues 5

would be split 50/50 except for housing. Reinvestment 6

opportunities would still need to be addressed. 7

It was stated that marketing would originate 8

through St. Vincent College, but it would be 9

delineated that the BSN program is Carlow 10

University's. It was noted that measures were in 11

place to ensure that the students and parents 12

understand where the degree would be coming from and 13

the processes place throughout.] 14

*** 3

[Kelly Hoffman, MSN, RN, Program Coordinator, 4

Practical Nursing Program; and John Augustine, 5

Administrative Director, presented before the Board to 6

discuss two proposal requests by Greater Johnstown 7

Career and Technology Center. 8

Mr. Augustine described the GJCTC as a public 9

school that provides high school, adult education and 10

practical nursing education programs and one of the 11

few schools that is Title IV approved. He noted the 12

school's mission to ensure students’ success and its 13

vision for graduates to be leaders with employability 14

skills for a changing workforce. 15

He stated two programs are currently being 16

offered at the Johnstown and the Monroeville sites, 17

but additional sites are being requested in Ebensburg 18

and Cheswick to fulfill the demand for practical 19

nurses in the area. 20

Ms. Hoffman commented that there were dedicated 21

faculty at both campuses and the same plan for 22

Ebensburg and Cheswick as well. She further noted a 23

difficulty in finding qualified faculty but has 24

covered the classes. 25


22

The existing clinical sites for Ebensburg and 1

Cheswick would be used. Ms. Hoffman stated the 2

program does not substitute clinical hands-on for sim 3

lab as active learning sessions are incorporated into 4

the theory portion. 5

Ms. Hoffman noted that NCLEX pass rates thus far 6

have been in the 90s and noted an 18 to 20 percent 7

attrition rate. Paper/pencil tests are being utilized 8

as well as computerized testing and an onsite review 9

program. 10

Mr. Augustine noted high school articulation 11

agreements for students to obtain credited hours.] 12

Report of Commissioner 17

[Ian J. Harlow, Commissioner of Professional and 18

Occupational Affairs, updated Board members with 19

regard to the PALS system. He noted that the 20

processing time for the division as a whole was 21

averaging 16 days. He stated new staff had been hired 22

to assist with the system. 23

Commissioner Harlow explained that instead of 24

requiring applicants to obtain a State Police 25


23

background check and then upload it with the 1

application, the Bureau has coordinated with the State 2

Police so that the fee is collected on behalf of the 3

PA State Police, which will be sent to PSP after the 4

application is processed, and the completed background 5

check is returned directly to the Board and linked to 6

the application. He tried to negotiate a lower fee 7

for the record check but was unsuccessful. 8

Commissioner Harlow discussed the completion of 9

work with regard to the Executive Order Advisory 10

Committee. Chairperson Kmetz served as a Committee 11

member. He noted the compilation of a 50-some page 12

summary along with 600 pages of data sets to be 13

submitted to the Governor for review. 14

Commissioner Harlow commented that of the states 15

surveyed, Pennsylvania’s CE requirement for RNs is 16

higher than the regional average. 17

The Commissioner addressed a letter from Majority 18

Chair Mark Mustio and Minority Chair Harry Readshaw 19

regarding a survey related to CRNP practice and areas 20

in which they provide services. This information is 21

not collected by the Board so a suggestion was made 22

that the Bureau of Health Planning assist with 23

completing the survey and the Bureau would send it out 24

to CRNP certificate holders.] 25

During the Executive Session, the Board 18

themselves will be identified as we 24

discuss each of the matters. 25
