Program Updates The faculty have incorporated the MUSC College of Nursing Cultural Competence Model (http://academicdepartments.musc.edu/the nursing/about/diversity/diversity_cc_model.htm) into each program. Our Diversity Officer works with the program committees to perform an evaluation of the presence of the model throughout the didactic and clinical courses. Using this framework in the undergraduate and graduate curriculums reinforces the importance of maximizing the health of people in diverse communities and ensures that students and faculty think critically about culturally competent care.

The faculty is committed to producing a culturally competent nursing workforce.

RN-BSN Program The College of Nursing (CON) recognizes that in order to meet the American Association of Colleges of Nursing’s (AACN) recommendations and the Institute of Medicine’s (IOM) goal of an 80% of baccalaureate prepared workforce by 2020, more on-line programs must be offered to meet the educational demands of the 33,000+ non-bachelor degree registered nurses in the state. In spring 2014, the CON was granted approval by the South Carolina Commission on Higher Education (CHE) to re-open the RN-BSN program, which was in abeyance since 2009. As a collaborative effort with the Medical University of South Carolina Medical Center, the CON modified the existing program and developed a 12-month online program; hired a program director and faculty; and accepted the first cohort for fall, 2014. Of the 93 applicants, 72 were accepted, 53 enrolled (92% local, 8% outside of the Charleston area, but in-state), and 8 deferred. The applicant pool for the first cohort has an 11% diversity rate (0.6% males) and 40% have previously earned baccalaureate degrees.

The applicant pool for the 2015 RN-BSN cohort includes: 77 applications (89% local/in-state, 10% outof-state), 64 accepted with enrollment pending, 16% diversity, 11% male, and 41% with previously earned baccalaureate degrees. Projected enrollment over the next four years is to increase by 60 students in the RN-BSN program and to expand enrollment throughout the state and beyond. Partnerships with local hospitals and technical schools are being developed to promote baccalaureate preparation of the nursing workforce and to provide a foundation for graduate education.

The RN-BSN program plan of study integrates Quality and Safety in Nursing Education (QSEN), The American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) Essentials of Baccalaureate Education, and the Interprofessional Collaborative Practice (IPEC) core competencies to assist students to demonstrate:  Knowledge, skills, and abilities to provide leadership, evidence-based care, and patient safety to achieve quality outcomes in patient care.  Competence in care coordination and facilitation of access to resources across the continuum of health care environments in order to meet the evolving health care needs of individuals, families, communities, and populations.  Effective interpersonal communication and shared decision-making in applying principles of systems and organizational processes to promote quality care and patient safety.

The first cohort will graduate in August 2015, with an anticipated 0% attrition rate. Eligible students will also be inducted into Sigma Theta Tau during convocation. Dean’s List recognition was awarded to 96% of the students in the fall 2014 and spring 2015 semesters. Courses are reviewed by the Undergraduate Program Committee at the end of each semester. A RN-BSN faculty retreat will be held annually for program evaluation. Exit surveys will be distributed to graduates and their 13

employers. Data collected will be used to assess satisfaction with the program and be used for quality improvement.

Accelerated BSN Program In fall 2014 the Accelerated BSN (ABSN) program increased admission enrollment to 80 students for the first time and had a total of 204 students enrolled. For the fall 2014 cohort, the CON received 425 completed applications, which was the largest application pool since opening the program. Three hundred and thirty-six of these applications were previous degree students (79%).

Realizing that not all students offered admission would accept, 97 students were offered admission.

Of these, 65% were in-state and 35% were out-of-state. Out-of-state students accepting an offer of admission were asked to provide a $1000 non-refundable confirmation fee in addition to the usual matriculation fee hoping this would confirm their intention to enroll. Of the 80 students in the fall cohort, there was 38% diversity, and 19% minority enrollment (15 male, 4 African-American, and 5 Hispanic). Of the 80 students in the spring cohort, there was 39% diversity, and 19% minority enrollment (16 male, 10 African-American, 4 Asian, and 1 Hispanic).

In January 2015, the Accelerated BSN program had a total enrollment of 227 students. There were 345 applications for the January 15 deadline for admission for fall 2015 enrollment. Of those, 13 were offered priority admission, 240 applied for regular admission, and 95 were incomplete and not reviewed for admission. One hundred forty-four of the completed applicants were out-of-state, 180 had a previous degree, 37 (15%) were male, 25 were African-American, 1 was American Indian, 14 were Asian, and 5 were Hispanic.

The attrition rate for 2014-2015 was <4%, while the previous three years the rate was <7%.

The following program initiatives were accomplished during 2014-2015:  The curriculum was revised to move NURSU 405 Pediatrics back to the third semester with NURSU 372 Policy and NURSU 376 Leadership moving to the fourth semester. Additionally, the Pathophysiology/Pharmacology I and II courses were moved to be 100% online.  All course descriptions and objectives were updated and revised to include content on cultural competency.  Updated course content maps were developed for all courses.  The ABSN curriculum was mapped in a crosswalk to the BSN Essentials, QSEN competencies, and Interprofessional Education Competencies.  All courses were reviewed for consistency of formatting in Moodle.  The ABSN end of program objectives were revised, as was the overall program assessment plan.  The clinical evaluation tool was revised and an electronic form is being implemented.  A new software platform for exams, ExamSoft, was implemented beginning fall 2014.  The ATI/NCLEX policy was revised and an ATI Success Plan was developed, including workload time allocated to a faculty member.  The course coordinator position description was updated.  The Student Handbook was updated.  The CON Clinical Placement Coordinator began working with faculty to assign student clinical placements.  Faculty retreats were held in August 2014, and March 2015.

DNP Program The College of Nursing (CON), in the fall of 2014, had 213 students enrolled in the DNP-APRN program. In fall 2014 and spring 2015, 49 students graduated. In the spring of 2015 302 completed applications to the programs for the 2015-2016 year were received. This number was slightly higher than the 262 received the previous year. As of July 2015, 77 students have accepted positions in the MSN/DNP-APRN program for fall 2015 (11 A/GNP, 42 FNP, 13 PNP and11 Post-MSN DNP).

Twenty-one percent of the students accepted were alumni graduates. The average admitting GPA for the Post-BSN DNP program is 3.67, post-BSN MSN program is 3.7, and Post-MSN DNP program is 3.67. For the 2015 admission cycle, we have 45% diversity in our students. Table 2 represents diversity data.

For 2014, 78% of the students were in-state and 69% of in-state students were admitted for fall 2015. With the challenge of finding clinical sites, 53 in-state students were admitted, but of the APRN students only 25 in the tri-county area were admitted with the remaining 28 from the midlands, piedmont and upstate. In 2009, the attrition rate was 25.5%. Thus the decision was made to change to one academic advisor for program planning and to develop an early academic warning system that includes a process for faster follow up to recover students. Since that time an admissionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rubric has been designed to continue to improve applicants chosen, and an online boot camp was developed and is to be taken prior to the first day of class to improve outcomes. The current attrition rate is 12% for the APRN students. Since 2009, 14 students have changed programs from MSN to DNP and from DNP to MSN, while in the 2014-2015 academic year, 6 students changed from MSN to DNP and 12 students changed from DNP to MSN. APRN population competencies and DNP essentials continue to be threaded throughout the programs. The nurse educator (NE) courses continue to be offered to the MSN, DNP and PhD students, enabling them to be eligible for the national NFLP loan program and apply to take the NE certification examination.

In 2015, the Nurse Executive Leadership and Innovations (NELI) DNP will open with 8 students.

Twenty-five percent of the students accepted are alumni graduates. The average admitting GPA for the upcoming NELI DNP program is 3.8. For the 2015 admission cycle, there is 37.5% diversity.

MSN Program The College of Nursing in the fall of 2014 had 21 students enrolled in the MSN program. In fall 2014 and spring 2015 there were no graduates due to the organization of the plan of study. In August 2015, 17 students are projected to graduate with a MSN. Due to the American Association of Colleges of Nursing and Institute of Medicine recommendations the College is focused on the DNP program and considering admitting fewer students to the MSN program. However, the MSN will continue to be used as an exit option since the MSN degree is considered entry level for advanced nursing practice in South Carolina. MSN students are encouraged to return to complete the DNP degree. A specific post-MSN DNP plan of study has been developed for CON alumni who have graduated within 5 years. For the fall 2015 the College admitted 13 MSN students. This includes 2 A/GNP, 6 FNP and 5 PNP track students.

PhD Program In fall 2014, the PhD in Nursing Science program had 62 students enrolled. These students continue the steady increase of published and presented scholarly work. Twelve students published 17 articles in peer-reviewed journals. In achieving the goal of team-science, students are increasingly co-publishing with peers or faculty. Five students received honors and awards, and one student received a leadership award. Four students presented 11 abstracts or posters. Two students received research funding. Fourteen students received NFLP funding with a commitment to obtain a faculty position after graduation. After application to the very competitive and prestigious Robert Woods Johnson Foundation (RWJF) Future Scholars in Nursing program, the PhD program received funding for two scholars who will be supported over the next three years of their full time study.

These two scholars join the one scholar funded by the RWJF in 2014.

The PhD program reached full student capacity based upon numbers of PhD faculty who can mentor students during the dissertation phase and faculty who can chair dissertation committees.

Fifteen students graduated during 2014-2015. After the development of a rubric that aligned program competencies with admission expectations and a carefully staged admissions process, the PhD Committee admitted 14 students in spring 2015. While all accepted, 3 deferred enrollment until 2016. The fall 2015 incoming students have impressive credentials and are geographically spread throughout the continental US, with one student living in Germany.

The PhD faculty embraced major program modifications in the 2014-2015 academic year to address the call to produce more PhD-prepared graduates for the US academic and research workforce.

After receiving approval by the Commission on Higher Education and registration with the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, the traditional program was retired and replaced this year with a 45-semester hour, accelerated program. The new program is renamed â&#x20AC;&#x153;PhD in Nursing Scienceâ&#x20AC;? to clarify its focus on research vs. clinical outcomes. The full time program can be completed in three years and the part time program of study in four years. All current students seamlessly made the transition to the accelerated program.

The accelerated PhD program is marketed on the website. Per approval by the CHE, application criteria will include selected non-nurses who hold a graduate degree in a health-related science. The PhD in Nursing Science program continues to independently process all academic functions.

PhD Outcomes Fifteen students graduated from the PhD program in 2015, and the follow-up 4 month alumni survey is pending. Of the PhD graduates from last year in 2014, 90% have faculty positions.

Attrition Rates: The attrition rates in the CON remain low and continue to meet the university goal of less than 10% attrition in the overall program (see Table 5). Since 2010 overall attrition has decreased 90%. This is attributed to the continued partnership of the designated student services program coordinator with the CON faculty program director. In addition, a newly revised Academic/Professional Warning and two-week follow-up process was implemented this past academic year with improved student outcomes.

Faculty Interprofessional Education Activities IP- 760. IPC Clinical Fellowship: This fellowship was developed and is managed by CON faculty.

Students from nursing, medicine, and the physician assistant program can enroll in the fellowship that provides an interprofessional (IP) educational experience integrating IP practice and education.

The Fellowship focuses on IP collaboration for chronic disease management of uninsured/underserved clients through evidence-based care, health coaching, care coordination, patient education and engagement of community partners. Working within an IP team of students and providers, students learn with, from and about each other while increasing access to care and addressing the health needs of underserved clients, families and community.

IP- 746. Community Engagement: This course was developed and taught by an IP faculty team including faculty from the CON to introduce health professions students to basic principles of community engagement for improving community health and wellness through an interprofessional collaborative approach. Students learn about conducting community asset mapping, community needs assessments, cultural competency, social determinants of health, effective strategies for working with community partners, community-based participatory research principles, dissemination of community health education and interprofessional teamwork. Students work in interprofessional teams on local community health projects.

IP- 710. Transforming Healthcare: As part of an IP team of faculty, CON faculty lay the foundations for beginning (first year) professions students to understand the complexities of the health care system and the role of interprofessional collaboration to improve the system.

Through an interprofessional context, students explore the art and science of teamwork and communication skills, cultural competency, ethical issues, healthcare disparities and social determinants of health. This course addresses the university's Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP) goals #2 (e.g., students learn more about the other professions) and #3 (e.g., students apply interprofessional teamwork competencies in a learning setting) and will provide a mechanism to evaluate student learning outcomes associated with each goal.

IP 744 Interprofessional Study of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) and Neurodevelopmental Disabilities (ND): CON faculty were major contributors to the design of this course and participate representing the nurse practitioner profession as course faculty. The course is offered each year over two semesters. The course promotes an interprofessional approach to ASD and ND, with emphasis on the professions of pediatrics, psychology, speech pathology, social work, nursing, occupational therapy, physical therapy, pediatric dentistry, psychiatry, neurology, genetics, special education, and others learning and working together. The course content is based on recommendations made by the Association of University Centers on Disabilitiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; (AUCD) Interprofessional Training Guide (National Training Directors Council, 2001), and the Core Maternal and Child Health (MCH) Leadership competencies (http://leadership.mchtraining.net/).

This course focuses on both clinical and leadership topics related to disorders that first manifest in childhood. Clinical topics include autism, ADHD, sensory impairments and various therapeutic interventions. Leadership topics include functional behavior assessment, ethics, family-centered care, and others. The course is offered on-line, and lectures may be viewed by students on their own time via the on-line learning management system Moodle. A bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree is required for course enrollment.

GH 704 Interprofessional Perspectives in Global Health with Field Study: CON faculty were major contributors to the development and implementation of this course. The overall purpose of this course is to provide students the opportunity to apply theoretical knowledge and clinical skills to global health studies coursework from pre-requisites courses. Students are involved in global, national, or local fieldwork experiences involving populations with various cultural backgrounds. Areas of interest may include policy, health disparities research, clinical immersion, or a combination of these areas. The course is structured to promote transfer of knowledge, skill, and values that are shared by all health professionals and that can be learned best within the context of interprofessional education and practice as noted in the MUSC Interprofessional Courses guidelines.

National Recognition US News and World Report ranked the College of Nursing online graduate program first in 2014.

Academics and Student Tracking The Office of Academics continues to increase the number of active affiliation agreements between the College of Nursing and health care facilities in and out of South Carolina to provide learning experiences for our undergraduate and graduate students. Currently, the College of Nursing has 600 active contracts in 28 states and 417 are within South Carolina. The College of Nursing secured several crucial out-of-state contracts with large health care entities in Michigan, Florida, and Georgia to assist graduate students with clinical opportunities. We have 386 preceptors who assisted us in our program this past year, 159 of whom were newly recruited. The Office of Academics houses an extensive database of College of Nursing preceptors and facilities utilized in yearly clinical student placements.

Veterans Affairs Nursing Academic Partnership The College of Nursing continued to work with the Ralph H. Johnson Veterans Affairs Medical Center in a number of programs this past year. Federal support of the VA Nursing Academy (VANA) expired in fall 2013 and is now being maintained with local level support. As of September 2013, the VA and the CON entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) agreement that will be in place for three years but reviewed annually. The MOU outlines specific responsibilities for both VA and CON faculty. The loss of federal support resulted in a reduction in the number of clinical faculty assignments and the number of students assigned to the VA in each semester. Still, nearly half of each cohort (approximately 40 students) will have VA clinical rotations in the first and second semesters. The program now operates under the name VA Nursing Academic Partnership (VANAP) in accordance with the national VA Office of Academic Affairs (OAA) directive.

In addition to supporting undergraduate nursing education through student clinical rotations, VANAP also includes support for undergraduate students accepted into the VA Learning Opportunities Residency (VALOR) program, new graduate BSN nurses through the Post Baccalaureate Nurse Residency (PBNR) program, and for post-graduate nurse practitioners through the Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner Residency program (PMHNPR). In spring 2014, the VANAP Advisory Board was created to provide oversight and guidance, and recommend strategies to assure success for all four VANAP programs.

Alumni Activity The annual Alumni Homecoming Weekend was held on January 23-24, 2015. It began with a Friday evening cocktail reception held at the newly renovated home for alumni, the SebringAimar House, for the BSN Class of 1985. Saturday morning the College welcomed everyone to an open house from 9:30-11:30 am, to visit the Collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newly renovated building. Dean Stuart provided a State of the College address. Members of the BSN Class of 1975 enjoyed a luncheon at the home of a fellow alumnus. The evening closed with a Lowcountry Boil and Oyster Roast from 6:00-9:00 pm, at the Charleston Maritime Center, joined by MUSC President, Dr. David Cole, Dean Stuart, nursing faculty, staff, students and alumni with an informal gathering full of Lowcountry cuisine, music, and fun.

B. RESEARCH The College of Nursing (CON) Office of Research had another very productive year. We expect to maintain or improve our ranking in NIH funding at the 14th position, which represents the highest ranked CON in the state, and 4th highest in the Southeastern US. In the past five years, we have obtained 8 NIH R01 awards, and additional NIH training and pilot awards. Currently, 15 of the educator-researcher faculty are funded as PIs on federal grants.

We continue to strengthen our infrastructure and pre- and post-award support systems in the Office of Research. These include: Associate Dean for Research (ADR) (Acierno), two biostatisticians (Mueller, Dooley), senior methodologist (Zapka), 5 staff (Lopez, Vining, Kerr, Greene, Curtis), 22 educator-researcher faculty, including a new faculty hire for ‘Big Data’ (Johnson). Moreover, the Office of Research works in conjunction with the two CON Centers:  

SCTR Center for Community Health Partnerships (SCTR-CCHP) http://academicdepartments.musc.edu/sctr/programs/community_engagement/about_us.htm Technology Applications Center for Healthful Lifestyles (TACHL) http://tachl.musc.edu/

Both centers are leading faculty developed research initiatives that strongly appeal to NIH, and were the centerpiece of our T-32 postdoctoral fellowship application, along side a partnership with the MUSC Biomedical Informatics leader, Dr. Lennert. Thus, the T-32 was designed to complement the Strategic Plan for Research, which focuses on community based behavioral interventions and technology based innovations (i.e., mobile health applications), targeted through biomedical informatics, to improve health outcomes.

Four CON faculty continue to lead SCTR cores, and the ADR has been given a position on the SCTR Executive Committee: Cores include Community Engagement (Jenkins/Newman), Recruitment and Retention (Kelechi), and Novel Technologies (Treiber). Other CON/SCTR collaborators are: the SUCCESS Center, SOCRATES/K-12 mentoring program, Regulatory Core, TEACH Core, Biorepository, Research Nexus and Bioinformatics. In addition to serving on the SCTR EC, the CON ADR continues to serve on two additional university research council committees (SCTR/URC Data Set Task Force and the URC Communications Committee). CON faculty continue to serve as reviewers for the MUSC Office of Research Development’s Research Program Grant (RPG), K-12 applications, SCTR pilot grants, and the VA COIN pilot projects. Other intra-institutional research collaborations include the Center for Health Disparities Research, Hollings Cancer Center, College of Medicine, College of Dental Medicine, College of Health Professions, and the VA. Over 25% percent of our research grants during the past year involve interprofessional collaborators outside the CON. Grant Submissions The total numbers of grant submissions and grant funding submitted by the CON Office of Research continues to show sustained growth, as shown in Figures 6 and 7 below. 

Total of 60 grants were submitted this year with CON faculty or students as principal investigators.

2014 – 2015 NEW FUNDED PROJECTS Federal: Monitoring And Managing Newly Healed Chronic Leg And Foot Ulcer Skin Temperature: A Cooling Intervention (MUSTCOOL) To Prevent Ulcer Recurrence.

(06/15/2015 – 03/31/2019) Funded by the National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR)/National Institute of Health (NIH) to Dr. Teresa J. Kelechi. This application represents an innovative self-monitoring and selfmanagement intervention aimed to prevent chronic leg and foot ulcer recurrence. Using infrared thermography to identify leg and foot skin “hot spots” at risk for ulcer recurrence, participants will monitor this identified at-risk skin over newly healed chronic venous leg and diabetic foot ulcers. They will manage the “hot spots” using a sequenced cooling regimen for prophylaxis and a bolus dosage for elevated skin temperature above baseline. A “pack” will be applied to at-risk skin to reduce inflammation during the 6-month study. The overall aim is to compare this homebased prevention intervention to a placebo pack in adults aged 50 and above on ulcer recurrence, pain, physical activity and quality of life.

Physical Activity Interventions for Leg Ulcer Patients. (05/19/2015 – 04/30/2017) Funded by the National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR)/National Institute of Health (NIH) to Dr. Teresa J. Kelechi. This application represents an innovative, technology intervention in which a wireless accelerometer and tablet computer will enable data on physical activity to be captured, transmitted, and interpreted for clinical application. The mHealth strategy will promote adherence to physical activity in a venous leg ulcer population with severely de-conditioned legs and who are underserved without access to physical activity programs. It will also involve clinical feedback through a patient-provider communication interface and serve as a patient reminder system to engage in targeted, non-exertive exercises that, in the long-term, might also improve ulcer healing. The overall aim of this study is to test the feasibility of this home-based physical activity strategy using our reliable and valid accelerometer and to develop a patientprovider communication strategy that will enhance adherence.

Community-Based Initiatives All of the following practice faculty initiatives address health equity and the elimination of health disparities within a framework that supports education, practice, and research.  Teen Health Leadership Program Deborah Williamson, DHA, MSN, RN, coordinates the Teen Health Leadership Program (THLP) that is funded by the National Library of Medicine through the Center for Public Service Communications. The THLP is a collaborative program between the College of Nursing, MUSC Library, Communities in Schools (CIS), and St. John’s High School. The project promotes health information literacy as well as developing leadership skills, enabling the students to design and implement outreach projects to improve the awareness and use of quality health information in their community. The interactive, student-driven curriculum builds Internet search skills and engages students in community health issues through online research and the development and implementation of a health information outreach project that is relevant to their community. Simulation experiences and shadowing clinicians promote health careers. In 2014-2015, 35 junior and senior students were enrolled in the THL scholars program and 30 tenth graders in the peer/peer program.

For the academic year 2014-2015, the students decided to research the health topic of “Environmental Health”. The students presented to the National Library of Medicine, National Institutes of Health, in Bethesda Maryland on April 1, 2015. Two of our teen scholars were featured in the National CIS newsletter for their accomplishments. The high school students developed a comic book on environmental health that the students took to elementary schools on the island.

Hispanic Health Initiatives  Abrazos Deborah Williamson, DHA, MSN, RN, coordinates the Abrazos program, a family literacy program that promotes school readiness skills in 3-year olds and provides their mothers with ESOL, health and parenting classes. The College of Nursing is responsible for coordinating the health classes, which aim to increase health literacy through interactive classroom activities and invited speakers. During the 2014-2015 school year, mothers in the program received weekly health workshops facilitated by PASOs, 9 BSN students and community speakers. A total of 27 Spanish-speaking women participated in the program. Nine BSN students participated in the program by offering health screenings to the mothers in the program and by facilitating a health lesson on diseases related to obesity. Sixty-seven percent reported having changed their eating habits, especially with their children. Participants also felt grateful for having made friends in the program on which they can rely for health support in the future.  PASOs (which means “Steps” in Spanish) Romina McCandless, MPH, is the PASOs program coordinator for the Charleston area. PASOs is an evidence-based, statewide, organization that provides a bridge between the Latino community and the health care system in order to maximize the health of Latino families. The organization partnered with the College of Nursing in 2010 has been growing ever since. The mission of PASOs is to help the Latino community and service providers work together for strong and healthy families. This is accomplished through education, support, and grassroots leadership development. The program is able to provide nursing students with unique opportunities to interact with the Latino community. This year 71

Medical University of South Carolina

College of Nursing

a total of 9 Accelerated BSN students in the Hispanic Health Initiatives Scholars group had the opportunity to work with PASOs during outreach and health education events. Community health workers, called promotores, support the coordinator by helping peers navigate the medical/social system and by advocating for Latino family health needs. This community-based program worked to achieve this mission through providing the following community services in 2014-2015:      

247 Participants at 7 outreach events 200 Participants in 5 workshops learned about topics in maternal-child health 205 Individuals assisted with resource navigation by the PASOs program 40 Radio shows facilitated 14 Community health workers (promotores) trained in communications and cultural sensitivity 2,500 Estimated individuals reached through outreach and radio

 Hispanic Health Initiative Scholars Deborah Williamson, DHA, MSN, RN, is faculty for the Hispanic Health Initiative (HHI) Scholars Program. Students are selected based on academic performance, interest in diverse cultures and community participatory action. This model program builds cultural competency, sensitivity to community needs, the ability to tailor care, and the leadership skills necessary for our graduates to address the social determinants of health and the elimination of health disparities. Their immersion with members of the Hispanic community and providers involved in their care provides insight into nursing issues of language access, advocacy, negotiation across agencies, and the social and civic contexts that influence health and illness. In the 2014-2015 academic year (17) Accelerated BSN students participated at HHI Scholars.

D. FACULTY

The goal for organizational culture is to ensure a culture within the College of Nursing that actualizes scholarship, life-long learning, diversity, service, caring, creativity, empowerment, collaboration, advocacy, equity, and integrity. To that end, the first objective for organizational culture is to align faculty and organizational resources to achieve our values and strategic goals.

This year, eight faculty members were hired; 90% of the faculty hold doctoral degrees; and those who are hired without a doctoral degree agree to initiate doctoral study within two years of employment.

Mentoring, Scholarship, and Leadership Activities The second objective for organizational culture is to promote the mentorship, scholarship and leadership activities of faculty. A comprehensive College of Nursing Career Development Plan (CDP) guides the development of individual faculty members in their multifaceted faculty role teacher, scholar, professional, public servant - through orientation, mentoring, ongoing development, and shared faculty governance. This year a total of seven senior faculty and nine junior faculty participated in the CDP program. The focus of the mentor program was on faculty at the instructor level, either a new hire or presently on the faculty. An on-line assessment was completed by junior faculty to facilitate mentor/mentee pairings, and a series of presentations involving a variety of faculty related topics were offered that were open to all faculty who wished to attend. The outcomes of this mentoring plan after two years is that 6 faculty were promoted from instructor to assistant professor and the number of manuscripts published or accepted for publication from the junior faculty totaled 28.

Several faculty also led multiple AppleTree Society sessions. The College of Nursing faculty posted record attendance at the teaching series offered through the AppleTree Society and received certificates of completion.

Scholarship and leadership outcomes among faculty members of the College of Nursing during 2014-2015 include:  75% of faculty published one or more articles in peer-reviewed journals.  75% of faculty held professional leadership positions.  Three honored for teaching excellence at the College of Nursing Convocations.  Two faculty were the recipients of the MUSC Teaching Excellence Awards for EducatorMentor: Clinical Professional.  Four nursing faculty received the Palmetto Gold Award for Nursing Excellence from South Carolina Nurses Foundation.  One faculty was the recipient of the Maralynne D. Mitcham Interprofessional Fellowship.  One faculty was appointed to the National Advisory Council of the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration (SAMSHA).  One faculty was selected as 2015 Society of Gastroenterology Nurses and Associates, Inc. Scholar.  One faculty was selected into the 2015 Academy Health/Aetna Foundation Scholars in Residence Fellowship.

Two faculty served as chairs of committees for Advancement, Recruitment, and Retention of Women in Science (ARROWS).

Valuing Diversity The third objective for organizational culture is to foster an environment that promotes openness to diverse perspectives, inclusion, and full participation for all students, staff, and faculty. The College of Nursing strives to maintain a positive culture of high collegiality and respect. The Diversity and Inclusion Committee is now a standing committee in the College of Nursing.

Membership consists of student, staff and faculty representatives, along with the newly appointed College of Nursing Diversity Officer and a representative from the MUSC Office of Diversity. The Diversity and Inclusion Committee surveyed all College of Nursing faculty, staff and students in 2014 and developed an action plan based on the results. Notably, College of Nursing representatives are participating on various workgroups of the MUSC Strategic Plan for Diversity and Inclusion.

B. PHYSICAL/TECHNOLOGICAL RESOURCES: Beginning in winter 2012, the College of Nursing temporarily relocated to Harborview Office Tower and the College of Health Professions Building B. In spring 2013, the College of Nursing building began a complete renovation. The project was completed in December, 2015 and the College moved back to a state of the art facility. A ribbon cutting ceremony as well as a Grand Open House was held in January 2015 to celebrate and showcase the facility.

The Nursing Technology Center (NTC) continued to provide optimal information technology equipment and resources during the year to support the Collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s faculty, staff, and students.

This included planning and overseeing the installation of all technology in the renovated CON building. IT staff was expanded to include a dedicated College of Nursing photographer/ videographer. Ongoing review and updating of the Collegeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website and social media are also part of the NTC support. Efforts included an updated equipment inventory and operational and computer replacement plans. The database project between the OCIO and the College of Nursing continued during FY15 to update and integrate faculty, staff, and student database needs.

The MUSC Healthcare Simulation Lab, located on the first floor of the College, continues to support students in state of the art simulation activities, primarily at the undergraduate level. The newly-renovated College of Nursing building also includes approximately 1,000 square feet of lab instruction space for low fidelity simulations and other learning experiences.

Financial Challenges As the College of Nursing building renovation is completed, the College will be responsible for the ongoing maintenance of the technology and furnishings in the renovated building. Funds to accomplish this will come from the operating budget of the College.

Competitive faculty salaries continue to be an issue for the College of Nursing. Teaching faculty salaries are not competitive with those in the private sector, especially those in clinical settings.

This will continue to affect the College’s ability grow, plan for pending faculty retirement, and to attract the most qualified candidates for teaching and research positions. Maintaining the necessary enrollment to provide tuition resources to support the College’s operating budget will continue to be a priority as well.

Financial Accomplishments FY14 was the second full year of the University’s transition to a Responsibility Centered Management (RCM) budgeting model. The College’s 5-year model for revenue and expenditures shows the College of Nursing continuing to remain financially solvent.

Financial Summary Overall revenues and expenditures have remained stable and similar to the previous year. This positive fiscal status is due to two main factors. In the RCM budgeting model, the College retains all student tuition and fees, as well as all indirect cost recoveries generated. The second factor is a growth in enrollment, coupled with a modest tuition increase for some programs.

Federal and private grants and contracts have also shown a small growth. The Medical University Medical Center continued their support for the educational program of $500,000 this year, while also providing the first installment of support for the revised RN-BSN program. The modest increase in expenditures relate primarily to salaries to support program growth.
