Roseman University of Health Sciences (RUHS) developed and delivers a mastery learning curriculum designed for students to acquire the knowledge and skills to become competent nurses. Despite a trend in nursing education to adopt competency-based education (CBE) models, there is little in the nursing literature about programs based on a mastery model. The aim of this study is to describe an undergraduate nursing program built on a mastery learning model and to report on program outcome measures. The 18-month BSN nursing program is divided into blocks, varying in length and focusing on a single subject. Students must demonstrate mastery, defined as ≥90% on an assessment, to pass a block. Recognizing the critical nature of health care, educators seek methods to assure that practitioners become competent to perform the services they provide. Program outcomes reported include comparisons to national standards and RUHS student exit survey data. From 2013 to 2017 the RUHS College of Nursing students’ pass rates ranged from 82 to 97% for the National Council Licensure Examination exam compared to national pass rates between 81.8–84.5% during the same time frame. The program completion rate ranged from 86 to 100% and employment rates exceeded accreditation standards. Students reported overall satisfaction with their education as 4.38 and with the block system as 4.74 (5 point Likert scale). Roseman University’s mastery learning model appears successful as measured by high levels of student satisfaction, outcomes on exams, and degree completion when compared to national averages. The results suggest that other nursing and health profession’s programs can develop a successful mastery based learning model.

掌握护理学士学位课程的学习：罗斯曼健康科学大学的经验

罗斯曼健康科学大学 (RUHS) 开发并提供了掌握学习课程，旨在让学生获得成为合格护士的知识和技能。尽管护理教育有采用基于能力的教育（CBE）模式的趋势，但护理文献中很少有关于基于掌握模式的课程。本研究的目的是描述建立在掌握学习模型基础上的本科护理课程，并报告课程成果测量。为期 18 个月的 BSN 护理课程分为多个部分，长度各不相同，但侧重于单一主题。学生必须表现出掌握程度（定义为评估中≥90%）才能通过一个模块。认识到医疗保健的重要性，教育工作者寻求方法来确保从业者有能力提供他们提供的服务。报告的项目成果包括与国家标准和 RUHS 学生毕业调查数据的比较。2013 年至 2017 年，RUHS 护理学院学生的国家委员会执照考试通过率在 82% 到 97% 之间，而同期全国通过率在 81.8% 到 84.5% 之间。项目完成率在 86% 至 100% 之间，就业率超过了认证标准。学生对教育的总体满意度为 4.38，对分块系统的总体满意度为 4.74（5 点李克特量表）。与全国平均水平相比，罗斯曼大学的掌握学习模式似乎是成功的，从学生满意度、考试成绩和学位完成情况来看，都很高。结果表明，其他护理和健康专业的项目可以开发出成功的基于掌握的学习模式。
