New Careers in Nursing Alumni Survey
We are delighted that you are participating in the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation New Careers in Nursing (NCIN) Alumni Survey. This survey explores the post-degree experiences of accelerated and direct-entry nursing program graduates with the goal of informing new developments in the NCIN program.
Participation in the New Careers in Nursing Alumni Survey is completely voluntary. You may choose not to answer any questions by selecting Prefer not to respond or by leaving open-ended questions blank. You may also exit the survey at any time without penalty.
All responses to this survey are strictly confidential. The NCIN Alumni Survey is part of the external evaluation of the NCIN program, which is being conducted by Educational Testing Service (ETS). Completed surveys are submitted directly to ETS. Your personal information will be removed from the data. Results of this research will only be reported in aggregate form. Your responses will not be used in any way that would allow others to identify you personally or to link your responses with the school or college of nursing that you attended.
Thank you for contributing to this research. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the lead researcher, Senior Research Scientist Catherine M. Millett, Ph.D., at (609) 734-5866 or at [email protected].
[Select Yes, I Agree or No, I Refuse to continue.]
General Instructions
This survey is designed to learn about your educational and employment experiences since earning your nursing degree. We are also interested in your feedback on the preparation you received at [FILL: School or College of Nursing] and by participating in NCIN program activities.
The NCIN Alumni Survey will take 20 or fewer minutes to complete, depending on your experiences and comments. You may leave the survey and return to it later. When you want to exit the survey, click SAVE at the bottom of your screen. A custom link for you to resume the survey from where you saved it will pop up.
