View Award Description

Nurse Faculty Loan Program - Key Collaborators: PD, CON Assistant Business Manager, a dedicated staff member from USC Bursar’s office. Academic aspects of the program are supported by graduate program directors, Executive Associate Dean for Academic Affairs (EADAA), and Executive Director of Student Affairs (EDSA). University of South Carolina (USC), College of Nursing (CON) offers a full array of educational programs - both undergraduate and graduate degrees in nursing programs (BSN, MSN, DNP & PhD). Each is accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE) & Southern Association of Colleges & Schools Commission of Colleges (SACS). This application includes graduate programs. MSN prepared nurses can serve as educators in many LPN, Associates Degree & Bachelor of Science in Nursing programs. DNP prepared nurse educators are practice experts who can guide students based on their clinical expertise & ability to implement evidence-based practice. PhD prepared nurses are nurse scientists who can provide students with research opportunities, adding new knowledge to the nursing profession. Many colleges of nursing require doctorally prepared faculty; as the DNP degree has grown, more DNP prepared nurses are entering faculty positions to help prepare future nurses. In addition to their rigorous curriculum of core & specialty courses, NFLP participants may choose to take three courses (9 credits) in nurse educator roles, educational theory, curriculum development & evaluation, online teaching & technology, &/or 2 practicum courses to further prepare them for a role in nursing academia. MSN-Nurse Educator students are required to take all educational courses. All degree programs & the educational components are offered & awarded by USC. Clinical priorities for grant funding are demonstrated through a discussion of health status & health disparities in South Carolina (SC). SC is currently projected to have the 4th worst nursing shortage in the nation in 2030, with demand exceeding supply by over 10,000 nurses (HRSA, 2023). There is urgent need to address health access issues by advanced practice nurses; health quality issues, by adequate staffing of RNs, health policy issues by advanced practice nurses in both clinical & administrative roles, & health disparities which can be addressed by curricular approaches & by increasing minority representation in the nursing profession. In SC and nationally, there is critical need for nursing faculty to help educate the future generation. Most states, SC included, report faculty shortages as a major barrier to increasing enrollment. All objectives require sufficient nursing faculty teaching in quality-driven, accredited programs of nursing. In addition to the 5 students continuing in NFLP, the CON projects support of 5 additional students with FY24 funding (1 MSN, 2 DNP, 2 PhD) to help prepare additional nurse educators. CON/USC personnel will be responsible for recruitment and following all necessary federal guidelines for loan distribution/management. Loans will help alleviate financial burdens, allowing students to focus on their academic programs & more quickly enter the workforce as nurse educators. Upon graduation, 93% of USC nursing graduates remain in SC & support our state health & education needs. By increasing our faculty, USC CON has been able to increase our enrollments from 1350 (2013) to 1973 (2023) students. Additionally, CON focuses on assuring diversity of our NFLP recipients & our faculty matches the diversity of our state. Both the CON & USC support financial management (budgeting, maintenance, record-keeping) of the NFLP. Support comes from long successful partnership of PD, CON Assistant Bus. Manager, & dedicated Bursar’s office staff. Academic aspects are supported by graduate program directors, the EADAA and EDS.
