FOR FUTURE ACTION Initiate Rulemaking Process to Amend 1G C Reporting of Student Hours in Membership for Curriculum Classes (Attachment PROG 01) * Dr. Chapman and Ms. Johnson reviewed the item. This amendment provides clarification and consistency in the reporting of instructional hours for clinical practice. Dr. Willis asked if one hour in clinical hours count as one hour in contact hours or one hour in credit hours. Funding is based on contact hours, not credit hours. One semester hour is equal to forty-eight clinical hours and counts as credit hours, not funding hours. Mr. Irwin asked if students receive pay for these clinical hours. These clinical hours have no pay associated and the only courses that have clinical hours are those in the Health Sciences area. 1

2 On a motion made by Dr. Willis, seconded by Mr. Irwin, the full Board will be asked to suspend the Initiate Rulemaking Process to Amend 1G C Reporting of Student Hours in Membership for Continuing Education Classes (Attachment PROG 02) * Dr. Chapman reviewed the item. This item separates work-based learning and clinical hours into individual entities to mirror the previous item and further clarifies the criteria for student work experience. On a motion made by Dr. Willis, seconded by Mr. Holder, the full Board will be asked to suspend the Initiate Rulemaking Process to Adopt 1D C Clinical Practice (Attachment PROG 03) * Dr. Chapman reviewed this item. This item separates work-based learning and clinical hours into individual entities to mirror the previous items and further clarifies the criteria for clinical practice specific to Health Care programs. On a motion made by Dr. Willis, seconded by Mr. Irwin, the full Board will be asked to suspend the Initiate Rulemaking Process to Adopt 1D C Work-Based Learning (Attachment PROG 04) * Dr. Chapman reviewed this item. This item separates work-based learning and clinical hours into individual entities to mirror the previous items and further clarifies the criteria for work-based learning specific to Continuing Education. Dr. Powell asked if the language relating to a student orientation component and a post-training student and employer evaluation component is new. This mirrors some of what is done in Curriculum to ensure that a learning environment is being set up for the student in the workplace and is part of what will help credits to be portable. Dr. Powell followed up asking for clarification on non-regularly scheduled classes and how that impacts FTE. Non-regularly scheduled classes mean that students may be going to the sites at various times compared to regularly scheduled which means all students are going to the site at the same time. These classes are still scheduled and controlled. On a motion made by Mr. Holder, seconded by Dr. Willis, the full Board will be asked to suspend the FOR ACTION Location Waiver Request for Cooperative Innovative High Schools (CIHS) (Attachment PROG 05) ** Dr. Chapman reviewed this item. All documents are in order. 2

FOR INFORMATION Programs Committee Agenda Items 2017 Passing Rates for Nursing Graduates in the NCCCS (Attachment PROG 09) Dr. Chapman reviewed the item. This report is done annually and shows the passing rates of the NCLEX of nursing graduates. One college did not meet the three-year aggregate benchmark for the LPN program and eight colleges did not meet the three-year aggregate standard benchmark for the RN program in This signifies that these programs may need some extra assistance to meet the benchmarks but these colleges program status will not be affected. Dr. Powell asked if the System Office are tracking how many of the students being reported come from the Community College System and how many BSN graduates began at the community colleges. This item reports generic students who are first-time test-takers. When it comes to Community College students in the nursing program who obtain their Baccalaureates, they have already taken the NCLEX 4

5 to obtain their RN and do not need to retest when in the BSN program. The Baccalaureates listed in this report are new graduates who have not practiced nursing anywhere else before. Mr. Holder asked if students are eliminated from the nursing program based on testing or on Instructor input or if there are other reasons. Students may leave the program due to a change in life events. Some students can also leave due to academics as institutions set a percentage for assessments for students to continue through the program. Mr. Irwin asked if all students take the same tests and are graded the same way. The NCLEX and the curriculum course outline is the same for all students. However, the institutions write their own tests that are used for the benchmarks in their programs. Mr. Irwin followed-up then asking if it is possible to compare colleges that are weaker or stronger in specific courses to see what determines that difference. Usually, colleges will do a very thorough self-evaluation to determine needed changes in the program to address weaknesses (such as test writing or using simulations), if students need remediation, or if other changes are needed to improve the program. There is not a comparison between colleges, however.
