where to place faculty
resources, easy accessibility
was discussed for when a new

needed to teach in an

offered to set up each course
a file in IU Box for storage.
Discussion ensued regarding
already having those items in

discussion faculty decided it
would be advantageous to
have all course resources
available to all faculty. Then

there are four Administration

discussed if they should be

that the scholarly project

Tonya asked faculty to

to the Nursing

faculty that inter-rater
reliability was poor last
year. Suggested
revisions/changes with

1) Students reflect to
the NLN Nurse
Educator
Competencies each
week during the
practicum semester
(versus reflecting to
both MSN learning
outcomes and NLN
Competencies, Tonya
felt this created
confusion to the
students last year).

Instead, there is now an

MSN Program Assessment Report- 2013/2014
I. Mission and Vision- the IU East School of Nursing Mission and Vision was reviewed and
approved.
II. Policies- Faculty and Governance & Administration policies were reviewed, revised, and
approved.
III. Course mapping- Each course was reviewed by the graduate faculty throughout the
year and approval was made to integrate graduate QSEN competencies to each course
map. Courses reviewed this year were: L574; N504; T679; L579; R505; Y510; Y520; L671;
T619; R590; R500; J595; T617; I630; N502; T619; T670.
IV. Curriculum revision- After investigation of several graduate programs faculty voted to
eliminate Statistics (R505) from the curriculum. The Education concentration will now
require N504, Leadership for Advanced Practice and the Administration concentration will
require an additional 3 credit hours of elective. The proposed FNP program does not
require stats.

To date one graduate has taken the CNE and has passed!
VI. Graduation and Retention- To date the first two cohorts admitted to the IUE MSN
program has been 14. Eight graduated within 1 ½ times the length of the program. Of the
original 14, two moved out of the geographical area (out-of-state) after semester one and
semester two, one decided to pursue opportunities outside of nursing, two have taken a
leave of absence due to health issues, and one student did not meet the minimum
requirements for the NURS T617 course and has decided to pursue other options to
continue her education.
This resulted in 67% of the graduates completing their program within the 1 ½ times the
length of the program. It should be noted; however, that of the five who will not be
graduating at this time, only one was due to inability to pass course learning outcomes. The
rest of the cohort moved out of the area or changed their mind about a MSN degree at this
time.
For the first time a graduate hooding was held during the school of nursing recognition
ceremony. Seven of the eight MSN graduates participated in the hooding and walked in
graduation.
VII. FNP proposal- Graduate committee approved a 42 credit hour Family Nurse
Practitioner (FNP) program. To date this has been further approved by: Nurse Faculty
Council, IU East Faculty Senate, IU Academic Leadership Council, one more approval in
June of 2014. Program anticipates admitting the first cohort of 15 January of 2015.
VIII. WEAVE- 2013/2014 assessment data has been uploaded successfully to WEAVE.
IV. ACEN Accreditation- ACEN accreditation was approved in March of 2014.
2015 Goals:
1) ACEN Change report: Upon approval of FNP program, the ACEN substantial change
report will be submitted. Anticipate an accreditation visit fall of 2014.
2) Begin FNP program January 2015- Will be implementing an FNP curriculum committee
after approval of FNP program. Curriculum work will begin to admit January 2015

3) Advanced Practice Education Associates (APEA)- Begin work with APEA for
assessment and review exams for FNP program to ensure successful Advanced Practice
Certification pass rates for our graduates.

evaluation, report tracking, immunization and annual requirements tracking.
5) Hire a part-time FNP to direct FNP program.
6) Review portfolio process- Evaluate and review education and administration portfolio
process with graduate committee.
