Yolanda Harper-Morris, RN, DNP

The City of Chicago Associate Applied Science (AAS) nursing program curriculum does not offer a pharmacology course. In preparation for student’s success on the National Council Licensure Examination Registered Nurse exam (NCLEX-RN), nursing faculty adopted web-based pharmacology contents, to provide additional support and to assist students in learning the concepts of pharmacology throughout the curriculum. At the end of the two-year program, the student’s knowledge of pharmacology was assessed by administering two examinations: ATI-RN Pharmacology exam and ATI RN Comprehensive Predictor exam. If the students are passing the ATI Comprehensive Predictor exam which incorporates pharmacology, is it necessary to administer the additional ATI RN Pharmacology examination.

Christopher A Rolle

I am a 4th year nursing student at the University of The Bahamas’ School of Nursing and Allied Health Professions. I am presently
completing course requirements for the course Nursing Research being Moxey-Adderley. I am also qualified to undertake this study
because the University of The Bahamas also has its own ethics committee and institutional review board (IRB). While doing the required
clinical rotations to complete my studies, I have noted a particular phenomenon among the patients I have screen over the last two years.
There appears to be an increase in the incidents of Congestive Heart Failure (CHF) along with concomitant risk factors. Therefore, the aim of
this study is to examine and determine to what extent this phenomenon occurs and the various impacts on Bahamian national life.
I shall be looking at independent variables (IV’s) of diabetes, Hypertension (HTN), and end-stage renal disease also known as Chronic
Kidney Disease (CKD) or locally referred to as kidney failure. The dependent variable for the study is Congestive Heart Failure (CHF). It is
hoped that the data gathered will serve to not only give a clearer picture of the rising phenomenon, but also will be used to facilitate some
breakthrough ideas that will promote improved positive patient outcomes in terms of overall prognoses and activities of daily living.
Nursing students at the University of The Bahamas will form the population group via convenience sampling and snowballing techniques
due to time constraints and lack of funding.
