Faculty who has identified research as a priority focus area of scholarship are expected to fully engage in those efforts, with the support of their division assistant dean, the Associate Dean of Research, and the Niedfelt Nursing | ||
Research Center (NNRC).</p> | |||
<p style="margin-bottom:15px;max-width:70em !important;">An example of full-time work for faculty focused on research scholarship and teaching and may vary depending on funding and progress towards goals is:</p> | |||
<ul> | <ul> | ||

<li style="text-indent:1em;">10% service in a semester</li> | |||
</ul> | </ul> | ||
====Practice==== | ====2.3 Practice==== | ||
<p style="margin-bottom:15px;max-width:70em !important;">Practice is another area valued within the college of nursing. Nurse | <p style="margin-bottom:15px;max-width:70em !important;">Practice is another area valued within the college of nursing. Practice is considered with professional service in the Promotion and Tenure Standards and Guidelines. The CON supports all types of faculty practice for purposes of teaching, maintaining credentialing and scholarship.</p> | ||
<p style="margin-bottom:15px;max-width:70em !important;">Nurse practitioner faculty are expected to keep current their knowledge and skills to support continued licensure and certification, and quality nursing education. However, practice is not limited to APRNs.</p> | |||
<p style="margin-bottom:15px;max-width:70em !important;">The most desired models of practice are CON reimbursed practice through the Morehead Center, as this provides the opportunity for practice time to contribute to the resources of the CON and engages faculty fully in practices addressing the full range of reimbursement and | |||
billing issues. Faculty practice not reimbursed is not considered in workload. A faculty practice of one day per week is allocated 20% time per semester. If faculty want to practice more than one day per week, additional FTE can be negotiated based on overall needs of the college. If additional time is needed for documentation, on-call, or care coordination, it is included in the negotiations with the practice agency so the time is reimbursed.</p> | |||
<p style="margin-bottom:15px;max-width:70em !important;">Faculty have the privilege of engaging in outside work up to 16 hours per month according to the Board of Regents bylaws (Outside Employment Policy #1049). Such work is outside the faculty effort allocation guidelines, but per university policy, it is expected that faculty members complete the Outside Employment Form and submit it to their supervisor.</p> | |||
<p style="margin-bottom:15px;max-width:70em !important;">An example of full-time work for faculty focused on practice and teaching and may vary depending on funding and progress towards goals is:</p> | |||
<ul> | <ul> | ||
<li style="text-indent:1em;">60% teaching in a semester</li> | |||
<li style="text-indent:1em;">20% funded practice in a semester</li> | |||
<li style="text-indent:1em;">10% service in a semester</li> | |||
<li style="text-indent:1em;">10% scholarship in a semester if appropriate for identified goals (See Section 2.5 for examples of practice scholarship)</li> | |||
</ul> | |||
====2.4 Professional Service==== | |||
<p style="margin-bottom:15px;max-width:70em !important;">Professional service is important to the university and community. Faculty are asked to participate in service activities that align with mission of the CON, UNMC, and the profession. Faculty members are allocated 10% (60 hours/semester) effort for service. As rank progresses | |||
from assistant, associate, to full professor, the level of service could change with dean approval</p> | |||
<p style="margin-bottom:15px;max-width:70em !important;">The following are examples of service activities:</p> | |||
<ul> | |||
<li style="text-indent:1em;">Chair or co-chair or member of committees within the CON or university</li> | |||
<li style="text-indent:1em;">Professional service provided to community groups</li> | |||
<li style="text-indent:1em;">Committee/task force service to local, regional, national, international professional organizations</li> | |||
<li style="text-indent:1em;">Holding a leadership position in a professional organization</li> | |||
<li style="text-indent:1em;">Serving on a PhD dissertation committee.</li> | |||
</ul> | </ul> | ||
====2.5 Scholarship==== | |||
====Scholarship==== | <p style="margin-bottom:15px;max-width:70em !important;">Scholarship is highly valued by the CON and university. Scholarship is defined broadly in the College of Nursing, using Boyer’s model as the framework for the types of scholarship that contribute to achieving the college’s mission. Thus, scholarship includes the scholarship of | ||
<p style="margin-bottom:15px;max-width:70em !important;">Scholarship in | discovery, dissemination, application, and integration. An ongoing record of research and | ||
<p style="margin-bottom:15px;max-width:70em !important;"> | scholarship (external dissemination of project results, writing grants and manuscripts) is | ||
<p> | required of active research faculty to attain tenure. According to the AACN (White Paper, 2018) | ||
scholarship in nursing can be defined as the generation, synthesis, translation, application, and | |||
dissemination of knowledge that aims to improve health and transform health. It is the | |||
communication of knowledge generated through multiple forms of inquiry that inform clinical | |||
practice, nursing education, policy, and healthcare delivery. Scholarship is inclusive of discovery, | |||
integration, application, and teaching (Boyer, 1999). The hallmark attribute of scholarship is the | |||
cumulative impact of the scholar’s work on the field of nursing and health care (Newhouse et. | |||
al., (2018). Defining scholarship for academic nursing. AACN White Paper.)</p> | |||
<p style="margin-bottom:15px;max-width:70em !important;">Faculty are responsible to seek and bring in funding to support their scholarship if funding is required to conduct the investigation. Investment time received for scholarship carries the expectation that the faculty will become funded and disseminate teaching, research, and | |||
practice scholarship for this effort allocation (See Appendix B1). Tangible outcomes, such as funded grants, contracts, and publications, are considered examples of productivity. It is an expectation that faculty with active programs of scholarship will establish annual goals with specific outcomes for their continued FTE effort. After the first three years of employment, faculty members who are research active are expected to have research time reimbursed by grant funding, or to negotiate with their assistant dean and associate dean for research if they need time to write grant proposals. A faculty member may negotiate for a reduction in teaching | |||
or service load to supplement the time funded by the grant, depending on needs related to the grant and college needs related to teaching effort. Any additional reduction in teaching or service will end when the grant funding ends.</p> | |||
<p style="margin-bottom:15px;max-width:70em !important;">Faculty who does not engage in scholarship will have the FTE allocated to scholarship reassigned to teaching. Doctorally-prepared faculty not wishing to participate in scholarship activities or not meeting their expected scholarship goals, will allocate their effort to the | |||
teaching and/or practice missions commensurate with the FTE effort that had been allocated.</p> | |||
<p style="margin-bottom:15px;max-width:70em !important;">The following are examples of scholarship in the areas of teaching, research, and practice. These are consistent with promotion & tenure (P&T) criteria.</p> | |||

====3.1 FTE for classroom teaching==== | |||
<p style="margin-bottom:15px;max-width:70em !important;">A classroom course is allotted .067 FTE per credit. Therefore, a | <p style="margin-bottom:15px;max-width:70em !important;">A classroom course is allotted 0.067 FTE per credit. Therefore, a 3- credit course is assigned as 0.20 FTE or 20% effort.</p> | ||
<p style="margin-bottom:15px;max-width:70em !important;"> | <p style="margin-bottom:15px;max-width:70em !important;">Total FTE allocated for a course will be divided among faculty based on percentage of course taught by each faculty.</p> | ||
====3.1.1 Additional FTE may be assigned based on the following factors:==== | |||
<ol style="max-width:70em !important;"> | <ol style="max-width:70em !important;"> | ||
<li | <li>Class size — for each additional section over 50 students, the course may receive up to 0.05 FTE per additional section. This is added to the course effort FTE and divided among all faculty teaching the course.</li> | ||
<li | <li>Course coordinator role receives 0.05 FTE per course.</li> | ||
<li style=" | <li>Cross campus coordinator role may be one of the following and receives 0.025 FTE | ||
<li | <ol type="a" style="max-width:70em !important;"> | ||
<li | <li>Courses taught across multiple campuses for example, accelerated, | ||
<li | pathopharmacology.</li> | ||
<li>Coordinating course consistency (syllabus, exams, call meetings etc) for courses | |||
taught locally on individual campuses.</li> | |||
</ol> | |||
</li> | |||
<li>Semester coordinator role receives.025 FTE.</li> | |||
<li>Teaching a course for the first time or development of a new course may receive additional .05 FTE. Mentoring of new faculty in the coordinator role may receive .025 FTE.</li> | |||
<li>Committee chair for PhD = 0.025 FTE per semester and final semester FTE = 0.05.</li> | |||
<li>Service as a dissertation committee member or chair on dissertations outside the CON will count toward service.</li> | |||
<li>DNP project advisor = 0.025 FTE per project group per semester.</li> | |||
<li>Committee members for PhD count as service.</li> | |||
</ol> | </ol> | ||
<p style="margin-bottom:15px;max-width:70em !important;"> | <p style="margin-bottom:15px;max-width:70em !important;">Student advising is considered part of a faculty member’s service. Similarly, independent study courses are considered part of service because such courses do not meet the minimum class sizes for regular courses and are highly variable depending upon negotiated agreements between faculty and students. Faculty effort allocation may be negotiated if an independent study course results from providing a course needed by a small number of students to meet program requirements.</p> | ||
====3.2 FTE for Clinical Teaching==== | |||
====3.2.1 FTE for face-to-face clinical supervision==== | |||
<p style="max-width:70em !important;">FTE’s are assigned 0.10 FTE per credit hour for face-to-face clinical supervision. Thus, a 3-credit hour direct clinical supervision course would receive 30% or 0.3 FTE (180 clock | |||
hours). A single section in face-to-face clinical is considered to be a group of 8-10 students. | |||
<p style="max-width:70em !important;"> | Time spent in simulations and skills labs is included in the FTE allocated for the clinical. Health | ||
assessment lab clinical supervision is assigned 0.10 per credit hour for 14-16 students.</p> | |||
====3.2.2 FTE for Dedicated Education Unit supervision==== | |||
<p style="max-width:70em !important;">FTE’s are assigned at 10 | <p style="max-width:70em !important;">FTE’s are assigned at 0.10 per credit hour for DEU clinical supervision. Thus a 3- credit hour DEU clinical model would receive 30% or 0.30 FTE (180 clock hours). A single section is considered to be a group of 14-16 students.</p> | ||
====3.2.3 FTE for preceptor clinical supervision==== | |||
<p style="margin-bottom:15px;max-width:70em !important;">FTE are assigned | <p style="margin-bottom:15px;max-width:70em !important;">FTE are assigned at 0.10 FTE per 180 hours of precepted clinical hours. A single section is considered a group of 10 students at the undergraduate level.</p> | ||
<p style="margin-bottom:15px;max-width:70em !important;">For APRN clinical | <p style="margin-bottom:15px;max-width:70em !important;">For APRN clinical assignments, faculty effort is 0.10 per semester (60 clock hours per semester). A single section is considered to be a group of 6-8 students.</p> | ||
<p style="margin-bottom:15px;max-width:70em !important;">FTE allocations for clinical assignments include skills labs, course simulations, and Objective Structured Clinical Exams (OSCEs) for all programs.</p> | |||
