Answer to Question 1

Correct Answer: 3

Before applying for a graduate program, the first step for a nurse should be to identify his or her own career goals. Clearly defining professional goals enables the nurse to identify those graduate programs that provide the education and experiences to meet those goals. The nurse then considers personal and family factors (including financial considerations and work schedules) and program characteristics to determine which program is most appropriate.

Answer to Question 2

Correct Answer: 3

Poteet, et al., (1994) identified the following essential elements for assessing a graduate program; accreditation status, national standing, admission requirements, faculty qualifications, institutional climate, resources, clinical facilities, assistantships and other financial support, and program requirements. The other options are not essential.
