Nurse Faculty Loan Program - Project title: Nurse Faculty Loan Program to Prepare Doctoral Faculty Application Organization Name: Jacksonville University Address: 2800 University Blvd. N. Jacksonville, FL 32211 Project Director: Leigh Hart, PhD, APRN, FNP-BC Contact Phone Number: (904) 256-7600 Email Address: lhart@ju.edu Website Address: https://www.ju.edu/nursing/ Statutory Funding Priority: NFLP loans to support doctoral nursing students. Project Abstract: Jacksonville University’s Keigwin School of Nursing (KSON) graduate programs are accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education through 2029. KSON offers a Master of Science in Nursing with a specialization in clinical nursing education and a Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) program with specializations in leadership and advanced practice. KSON first received NFLP funds in 2018. In 2021 the first eight KSON DNP students graduated and all are currently employed as full-time faculty in a university nursing program. To date 28 students have received NFLP funding with a 91% retention rate. Five additional students have been accepted for funding for the upcoming semester. The NFLP in the KSON will expand mentorship, experimental learning, and community partnership opportunities for NFLP awardees. Project Summary: Jacksonville University and other nursing education programs in the region have multiple openings for nursing faculty. The purpose of this project is to continue to increase the number of qualified doctoral nursing faculty in Florida and the United States. The JU KSON DNP program now offers a completely virtual format that will allow students to participate that are unable to travel to campus due to work obligations or geography. The current NFLP students are a diverse group that have a wide variety of clinical backgrounds and expertise. In addition to the DNP in leadership or advanced practice, the KSON offers an MSN in Clinical Nurse Education. Students in the NFLP integrate content from the Clinical Nurse Education program into their DNP curriculum. This content includes knowledge, skills, and strategies in nursing education. Students in the NFLP participate in targeted objectives, assignments and activities as part of their residency hours. The content provided prepares these students to take the National League for Nursing Clinical Nurse Educator Certification exam. In addition to this current program for NFLP recipients, awardees will now complete a portion of their required residency hours working as graduate assistants with a faculty mentor on a variety of educational activities. Examples of these activities include expanding community partnerships, working with clinical simulations, and establishing faculty-managed practice opportunities. Faculty mentors identify their educational projects and are matched with NFLP students based on interest and expertise. The NFLP cohort model will expand and extend the recruitment area to rural and underserved communities by offering a fully virtual format. Project Objectives: The short-term objectives for this year include graduating the remaining five students from the first NFLP cohort at KSON, assisting graduates in finding full-time faculty positions or joint faculty agency appointments, and beginning the graduate tracking and loan repayment process. The mid-range objective for the year will be for recipients to complete a portion of their required residency hours working as graduate assistants with a faculty mentor on a variety of educational activities. Examples include expanding community partnerships, working with clinical simulations, and establishing faculty-managed practice opportunities. An additional mid-term objective is to operationalize the virtual cohort model and recruit a diverse cohort of NFLP students from rural and underserved communities. The long-term objective for this program continues to be a 90% graduation rate and a 95% full-time faculty employment rate for NFLP graduates.
