| Initiative Title | Professional Development - Mentoring Program |
|---|
| Submitted in Previous Year(s) | 2012 |
|---|
| Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale | Currently five faculty vacancies and thirteen faculty participating in the PRT process for retention and tenure. Mentoring fosters career development and job satisfaction, while enhancing retention and recruitment of educators by building a better work environment. The nursing department faces a significant challenge of recruiting and retaining new faculty, while competing with higher salaries paid to nurses outside of academia. |
|---|
| Consequences of this initiative not being funded | Program quality will be negatively impacted. NCLEX scores will drop below state average and could result in program closure. Continued high attrition rates in the nursing department. |
