About this event
We believe you would be an excellent person to represent MEPN graduates during this meeting. Your perspective can help the site visitors better understand the student experience and how the program prepared graduates to enter professional nursing practice.
The site visitors have approved this as a completely online meeting via Zoom, which we hope will make it easier for graduates to participate. During the meeting, they may ask about topics such as:
Your overall experience in the MEPN program
The strengths of the curriculum, faculty, clinical experiences, and student support services
How well the program prepared you for the NCLEX-RN, employment, residency, or orientation
Opportunities you had to provide feedback while enrolled
Changes or improvements you observed during the program
Areas in which you believe the program could continue to grow or improve
There are no “right” answers, and we are not asking you to prepare formal remarks. The site visitors are interested in hearing your honest perspective and learning about your experiences as a graduate of the program. Faculty and administrators will not participate in this portion of the visit so that graduates can speak directly and candidly with the accreditation team.
Please RSVP to this invitation to let us know whether you are available to participate. A Zoom link and any additional meeting information will be provided to those who confirm their attendance.
We recognize that this is a significant request and greatly appreciate your consideration. Graduate participation is an important part of the accreditation process and helps ensure that the site visitors receive a complete picture of the MEPN program and its outcomes.
