This document reports on outcomes of the College of the Canyons, California, 2002 survey of nursing alumni. Surveys of RN, LVN, and LVN-RN graduates and their employers aimed to assess graduates' satisfaction with the preparation and training they received. Surveys also collected information intended to assess the current position in which the alumnus is employed, current salary, employment status, and future educational plans. The sample consisted of 17 nursing alumni and five employer respondents. The vast majority (70%) of alumni surveyed intend to continue their education in a degree program. One hundred percent of employers agreed or strongly agreed that the employee was able to assume the RN role, was competent in basic patient/client care skills, and provided quality care. One hundred percent of graduates felt they use the critical thinking skills they acquired as students in their current positions. Only 50% of LVN students were satisfied or very satisfied with availability of courses, and 67% were satisfied or very satisfied with the quality of instruction. Based on a review of the survey results, the report recommends, among other things, providing more preparation opportunities for the Board Exam, and increasing availability of LVN courses. Survey instruments appended. (NB)
