The school nurse development program: an experiment in off-site delivery.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of a teleconferenced program by comparing multiple program outcomes of learners enrolled at three off-campus sites to Chicago-based learners. An adaptation of the Stake (1967) countenance model guided the evaluation. The data analysis consisted of descriptive statistics, cross-tabulations, and content analyses of comments. The results indicated no statistical differences between groups in grade point average, satisfaction with the program generally or with the teleconferencing process, tenure in school nursing, job stability, adoption of management strategies, and school health programs directed to aggregates.
