Progress/Results

Individuals Impacted

Increase the undergraduate, pre-licensure nursing program by 40 students annually

Admit 40 additional students annually at spring admission cycle (20 in fall and 20 in spring)

Recruit two additional tenure-track faculty members

Change coordinator position and administrative support positions to continuing appointments

Number of new students admitted

Number of new credit hours generated

40 additional students offered/accepted fall 2011 admission (the proposal to admit 20 students in fall and 20 students in spring will start in fall 2012).

39 students actually started             sequence of courses (40 admitted—one did not show).

For AY 2012, students took 30 hours of course work. Total credit hour production: 1,170. (In addition, 40 additional students who were admitted fall 2010 generated approximately 1,000 additional credit hours).

There is a national shortage of doctorally-prepared nursing faculty. Four tenure track nursing faculty were hired to start in fall 2012—but these were either replacements (3) or funded by the new RN-BS funding model (1). No additional qualified applicants applied. Therefore the program hired qualified non-tenure track faculty to support the program’s additional classes.

Paperwork has been submitted to change the coordinator and administrative support positions to continuing appointments.

Students:

39 new undergraduates
