OHIONURSING ARTICULATIONMODELSeptember, 2003 - 2005The Ohio Nursing Articulation Model was developed through funding from theHelene Fuld HealthTrust, HSBC Bank USA
The Ohio Nursing Articulation Model (ONAM)ForwardThis statewide nursing articulation model was developed at the recommendation of theOhio Collaborative Project: Nursing Workforce 2000 (1996-2000), part of the nationalRobert Wood Johnson funded project Colleagues in Caring, Regional Collaboration forNursing Workforce Development. The recommendation indicated there was a need for astatewide nursing articulation plan to enable optimal educational mobility for nurses inOhio.The Ohio League for Nursing, a member of the Ohio Collaborative, applied for aneducational mobility grant from the Helene Fuld Health Trust, HSBC Bank USA and wasawarded a two year grant for September 2001 to September 2003, extended to September2004. The Ohio Nursing Articulation Model (ONAM) was developed by the OhioNursing Collaborative for Educational Mobility (ONCEM) which provided for inputfrom all nursing programs in Ohio as well as representatives from nursing practicesettings. The goal of these representatives was to provide quality nursing education whileprotecting and promoting the health of the citizens of Ohio.The model in existence in northeast Ohio called ACCESS (Achieving Continuing CareerEducation for Success and Satisfaction) developed by the Nursing Education MobilityAction Group (NEMAG) served as the model for development of the Ohio NursingArticulation Model (ONAM).Thank you to all who participated in the development of the ACCESS model and all whoparticipated in the development of the Ohio Nursing Articulation Model (ONAM).A special acknowledgement to:Mary F. Rapson, PHD, RN, FAANNational Program Director, Colleagues in CaringRegional Collaboration for Nursing Workforce Developmentwho was the consultant for both the ACCESS model and the Ohio Nursing ArticulationModel (ONAM) and inspired all of us.Jane F.

The Ohio Nursing Articulation Model (ONAM)OHIO NURSING ARTICULATION MODEL (ONAM)Adopted September 26, 2003PurposeThe Ohio Nursing Articulation Model was developed during a two year project (20012003) funded by the Helene Fuld Health Trust, HSBC Bank USA to create a coordinatedsystem of nursing education in Ohio that enables optimal educational mobility for nurses.The Ohio Nursing Collaborative for Educational Mobility (ONCEM), who developed themodel, consisted of nurse educators from all types of programs representing all regions ofthe state.The statewide articulation model, developed by the Ohio Nursing Collaborative forEducational Mobility (ONCEM), was patterned after the Access in Nursing modeldeveloped by the Nursing Education Mobility Action Group (NEMAG) in northeastOhio. The model provides access to educational opportunities while preservingeducation standards and the uniqueness of individual Ohio schools.The Ohio Nursing Articulation Model includes assumptions about nursing articulation,nursing program characteristics, and mechanisms for advanced placement. This modeldeals exclusively with nursing courses and leaves decisions about the transferability offoundational sciences and general education courses to the discretion of the individualacademic educational institution. This model provides for an efficient progression fromLicensed Practical Nurse (LPN) to Registered Nurse (RN) and RN to the baccalaureatedegree.7
The Ohio Nursing Articulation Model (ONAM)OHIO NURSING ARTICULATION MODEL (ONAM)Adopted September 26, 2003ASSUMPTIONS1. Articulation provides a collaborative approach to positively impact nursingeducation and the nursing workforce.2. Articulation facilitates educational access and student progression with minimalrepetition.3. Prelicensure nursing programs must meet standards established by the OhioBoard of Nursing and are expected to be congruent with standards of accreditingbodies.4. Each educational institution establishes standards for admission, progression, andgraduation based on its unique mission and goals.5. Nursing programs participating in this model recognize that articulation studentshave met course objectives and outcomes of their previous program.6. Graduates of all types of nursing programs have achieved a common core ofknowledge, attitudes, cognitive and psychomotor skills; however, based oneducational preparation there are distinct differences in the breadth, depth,complexity, and scope of knowledge and skills.8

ADN/Diploma Programs Participating in theArticulation Model Will: Hold a current license to practice as aregistered nurse in at least one U.S. state orterritory.Meet the specific admission requirementsof the receiving academicinstitution/program.BSN Programs Participating in TheArticulation Model Will: Participate on a voluntary basis.Utilize the Transition Course as theadvanced placement mechanism forarticulation students.Grant a minimum of 30% of the nursingcredits required by the receiving academicinstitution/program.Record credit using the format of thereceiving academic institution.Establish graduation requirements forarticulation students that do not exceedthose of generic students. Participate on a voluntary basis.Utilize the concept of Escrow/Bypass forthe advanced placement of articulationstudents.Grant a minimum of 45% of the nursingcredits required by the receiving academicinstitution/program.Record credit using the format of thereceiving academic institution.Establish graduation requirements forarticulation students that do not exceedthose of generic students.Mechanism for Advanced Placement:Transition CourseMechanism for Advanced Placement:Escrow/BypassThe LPN/LVN to RN Transition course in theOhio Nursing Articulation Model serves both avalidation purpose and a transition purpose.The course validates prior learning, updatesand enhances student’s knowledge, begins theprocess of role transition, and prepares thestudent for advanced placement into the RNprogram.The receiving academic institution grantsnursing credit after the student hassuccessfully completed the Transition Course.Escrow/Bypass is a mechanism that recognizesprevious nursing education and awards nursingcredits based on the successful completion ofthe specified nursing course(s) in thecurriculum of the receiving academicinstitution.The receiving academic institution grantsnursing credit after the student hassuccessfully completed the specified nursingcourse(s).* Model Adapted from NEMAG Model Access (1991-2004)9
