  1. Nurse Manager Education Level Pilot Study Proposal Jerusalem Walker, BA, RN, BSN

  2. Chorus of calls for advanced nursing education • American Association of the Colleges of Nursing • The American Nurses Credentialing Center • The American Nurses Association • State Nursing Associations • Institute of Medicine • The White House • Health care agencies

  3. The Evidence • Aiken et al. (2003) • Hospital-level data from late 1990’s • Voluntary, mailed survey instrument • Cited 893 times! • Sales et al (2008) • Unit-level data from Veterans Health Administration hospitals • Collected within the hospital • Cited only 36 times

  4. Aiken et al. (2003) • Hospitals stratified by size, teaching status, and technology usage • Problem: endogeneity bias or missing variables • Serious threat to validity • Example: University of Pennsylvania and Temple University Hospitals

  5. Sales et al. (2008) • No association between level of RN education and patient outcomes • RN education aggregated to the hospital level • VHA hospitals already provide “seamless academic progression” advocated by IOM’s “Future of Nursing”

  6. Magnet Status • 100% of nurse managers must have at least a BSN by January 2013 • Anecdotal evidence that ADN and diploma RN managers are losing their jobs because of this requirement

  7. The Evidence • There are no studies linking manager education level to unit-level outcomes • There is evidence that nursing education has been commoditized: “Nursing continuing education is required in some nursing jobs, but is also beneficial to your career. For example, a graduate degree or certificate in a specific area of continuing education may help you get a raise or a promotion to a higher position. Your new knowledge will not only impress your managers, but it will also improve your resume and potentially increase your salary.” http://www.allnursingschools.com/nursing-careers/nursing-continuing-education/nursing-continuing-education

  8. Study Proposal • Nurse manager experience and educational levels • Unit-level outcome data • Nursing skill mix and hours per patient day

  9. POPULATION CHARACTERISTICS AND ENABLING FACTORS • Demographic characteristics • Years of Nursing Experience • Years of management experience • Years on current unit • Years in current position • Education level and type • OUTCOME VARIABLES • Falls prevalence • Restraint prevalence • Voluntary turnover • MODIFYING FACTORS • Nursing hours per patient day • Skill mix DETERMINANTS OF NURSING CARE OUTCOMES
