2 Wittenberg Minutes ES 2 Working Documents Purpose of this item: to share April 2016 CCNE Response to Site Visit compliance concern findings in Standards II & IV relevant to. CCNE Response Excerpts Standard II. Quality: Institutional Commitment and Resources Overall: Not Met. Compliance concerns: D, E, F Compliance Concern D CCNE Standard D. Faculty are: sufficient in number to accomplish the mission, goals, and expected program outcomes; academically prepared for the areas in which they teach; and experientially prepared for the areas in which they teach. team report. Full-time faculty are expected to teach 24 semester hours per academic year as outlined on page 88 of the faculty handbook. The WU nursing program has a director/professor and two adjuncts. The two adjuncts are new, have taught their s only once before this current semester, and have teaching involvement in one each. A discrepancy in the resource room documentation was noted by the team for one adjunct who does not meet the requirement for academic preparation as required by CCNE and Ohio Law. Requirements for experiential preparation are met. An improvement plan dated January 13, 2016 encourages this faculty member to complete a BSN and to actively co-teach with the director for Fall Faculty CVs were provided and verified by the team. Personnel files, i.e., CVs, and licensure, maintained by the nursing program for adjuncts were provided in the resource room. The director stated that human resources maintains a more thorough personnel file. Full-time equivalency levels are provided in the self-study document. Faculty are academic and experientially prepared for the areas in which they teach, with the exception of the one adjunct who did not meet the academic requirements. The information provided indicates that the faculty in both BSN tracks are insufficient in number to accomplish the mission, goals, and expected program outcomes. Due to current staffing levels, the director reported that only one to two s could be taught per semester for the RN-BSN completion students. response. Progress toward standard. The CNA respectfully corrects the Team s Report that due to current staffing levels, the director reported that only one to two s could be taught per semester for the RN-BSN completion students. The CNA reported to the Team that the current staffing levels (one director and two adjuncts) and offering one to two RN-BSN s per term were appropriate for the part-time academic pace desired by current RN-BSN students, many of whom are concurrently working on completing general education requirements. The Team Report mentions two concerns: 1) use of an academically unqualified adjunct and 2) insufficient number of faculty. Subsequent to the site visit, improvement actions have included: Actions Completed Staffing Plan to need for full-time and adjunct faculty members. Decision to not re-hire the academically unqualified faculty member The Provost approved the Director s request to add a full-time, tenure-track nursing faculty position. Within the position posting s Preferred Credentials section we made sure to include experience teaching health informatics, content taught in summer 2015 by the academically unqualified adjunct. Posted position on Wittenberg s employment website and the employment opportunities sites of Inside Higher Ed, Higher Ed Jobs, Academic Keys, The Chronicle, and Minority Nurse.

While on site, the team reviewed the WU nursing faculty and s binder provided in the resource.room. No s were identified in the binder or through conversation on the first day of the on-site evaluation, however, faculty mentioned that they had ideas of who might be s. On the second day of the on-site evaluation, five s were identified, while the team was at the clinical location. No documentation was provided at WU of qualifications and/or experience. The team sought clarification regarding s, but documentation was not provided after requests were made, and the guidelines on roles with respect to teaching, supervision, and student evaluation were not clearly defined; congruent with mission, goals, and expected student outcomes; or congruent with relevant professional nursing standards and guidelines. The self-study document states that a written orientation guide is currently under development, but this was not provided. In a with the team, individuals who had been asked to be s could not articulate their roles and expectations. There are no precepted students at this time. The team while on site requested a draft syllabus for NURS 402 Practicum in Leadership and Management, and this was provided, but no mention of expectations and/or roles related to s was included. The identified s at the clinical site, Springfield Regional Medical Center (SRMC), have not precepted for this nursing program before, and the program did not provide performance expectations. When asked, while on site at SRMC, where the documentation regarding qualifications would be housed, it was stated that the documentation would be on site at WU and SRMC. The intended s introduced to the team offered business cards to the team, and these provided some information on qualifications. One affiliation agreement is completed and current for Community Mercy Health Plan (CMHP) where the RN-BSN student will complete their clinical hours for NURS 402 Practicum in Leadership and Management in This agreement was reviewed by the team online. To date, s have not been used for the RN-BSN track. The adjunct faculty member who teaches this has identified suitable candidates to be used as s for future cohorts of students. Documentation has not yet been developed to underpin orientation, evaluation, and forms. response. Progress toward standard. Subsequent to the site visit, improvement actions have included: Actions Completed NFH which includes qualifications, orientation, roles, and evaluation. Forms for student and faculty evaluations of s are found in the NFH and Handbook (NSH) appendices. Evidence NFH pp. 8, 9-10, 16-19, Appendices NFH-E, NFH-F; Appendix NSH-E.

Created June 2016 Curriculum Agenda to reflect planned PR Appendix PR-H analysis of all curricular data with a focus on the roles of s and clinical sites. Plan for commitment. The CNA will continue to build a portfolio of qualified s and collect data on performance from student and faculty evaluations. In June 2016 the Curriculum will analyze all curriculum When s are used in Spring Term 2017, the CNA will elicit their feedback on the extent to which they feel the materials are clear and supportive.

The parent institution and program provide and support an environment that encourages faculty teaching, scholarship, service, and practice in keeping with the mission, goals, and expected faculty outcomes. team report. Adjunct faculty were not able to describe professional and/or institutional support for faculty role expectations; however, these are not as clearly delineated as are for full-time faculty. Teaching support was described by the two adjunct faculty as assistance with updating published s. Adjunct faculty confirmed that evaluations are done at the endo the semester when s are taught, and evidence of written evaluations were provided in the resource room. Adjunct faculty do not have scholarship requirements, and they have not yet been able to use scholarship support as they have not met the three-year minimum required length of time teaching in their current role to qualify. The two adjunct faculty work in the areas in which they currently teach, i.e. management and informatics. The director/professor provides documentation in the self-study document regarding WU s and the nursing program s support for faculty teaching, scholarship, service, and practice. A hard copy of the WU faculty manual ( ) was provided in the resource room and confirmed in comparison with the self-study document by the team. response. Progress toward standard. During the February 2016 out-briefing the Team mentioned the need for an updated Adjunct Faculty Handbook to better support adjunct faculty member knowledge. A university-wide Adjunct Faculty Manual is under development. Subsequent to the site visit, improvement actions have included: Actions Evidence Completed NFH which includes: Departmental examples of activities which meet university expectations NFH pp for teaching, advising, scholarship, and service University professional development support Full-time and adjunct faculty orientation to university and departmental Appendix NFH-C procedures, policies, and logistics Appendix NFH-D A template for Faculty Annual and Cumulative Self- Revised SEP to reflect CNA responsibility for evaluating full-time and adjunct NFH Appendix NFH-N faculty members self-assessments and professional development plans.
