Faculty have the pivotal responsibilities for developing nurse clinicians, scientists, leaders, and educators for the future, while producing or using the science that guides health improvements and ensures health equity as broadly defined by the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN). They have rights and responsibilities for the College’s tripartite mission within the context of the College’s strategic plan. Faculty rights and responsibilities in the University of Nebraska system are described in Sections 4.1 and 4.2 of the University of Nebraska Board of Regents Bylaws and the code of conduct is described in the University of Nebraska Medical Center Faculty Handbook. </p> | ||
<p style="margin-bottom:15px;max-width:70em !important;">While faculty members’ distribution of responsibilities varies based on their education and experience, all have some level of responsibility and accountability for education of students, incorporation of research-based evidence into nursing education and practice, and provision of professional service within the College of Nursing, university, and/or community and professional organizations. Faculty members differentiate their roles to focus most on two of the three areas in the tripartite mission in collaboration with their assistant deans, taking into account the needs of the College and the individual faculty member (see Appendix B-1). Faculty in the College of Nursing exhibit the UNMC ITEACH values of innovation, teamwork, excellence, accountability, courage, and healing. </p> | <p style="margin-bottom:15px;max-width:70em !important;">While faculty members’ distribution of responsibilities varies based on their education and experience, all have some level of responsibility and accountability for education of students, incorporation of research-based evidence into nursing education and practice, and provision of professional service within the College of Nursing, university, and/or community and professional organizations.

<p style="margin-bottom:15px;max-width:70em !important;">The College of Nursing has a variety of resources available to support faculty work. Faculty members with a need for support of their work should work with their division assistant deans or the relevant associate dean to determine if College resources are available to meet a specific need, or if alternate resources might be available through the university or philanthropic funds. For example, faculty members requesting funds to help support professional travel would discuss their needs with their division assistant dean. Faculty members prepare annual reports as requested or as specified by policy. For example, faculty members should contribute to annual course reports which are prepared by course coordinators. Faculty members with endowed positions are expected to write annual letters to donors of their endowed positions.</p> | <p style="margin-bottom:15px;max-width:70em !important;">The College of Nursing has a variety of resources available to support faculty work.
