Advising Goals
Facilitate matriculation through the nursing curriculum in a timely manner.
Facilitate identity with professional nursing and development of leadership potential.
Facilitate preparation to successfully seek employment in professional nursing.
Advising Policy
The local Campus Director is responsible for assigning
every student to a specific faculty advisor. Academic
advisors are required to have a minimum of two contacts
per semester per student, but commonly see students more
frequently based on academic progress and need. Students
facing academic difficulties or personal issues which
affect academic performance are requested to conference
with their academic advisor. The requested conference can
be initiated by the student, by faculty working with the
student, by the advisor, or by the Campus Director. Each
advisor/advisee meeting is noted in the student's advising
file. Students may request a change in advisors by
initiating a request with the Campus Director. All new
faculty undergo an extensive orientation to the advising
process. Faculty are expected to address the quantity and
quality of their advising in every annual review/evaluation.
Recent Changes and Future Plans
- To Improve Quality of Advising
- With improved computer access for faculty, it is anticipated
that computerized advisement will update and improve faculty
advising activities. Plans to formally gather student
evaluation data of the advising process are under discussion.
- To Improve Accessibility of Advisors
- To date, accessibility of advisors has not been problematic.
Student feedback remains generally positive and faculty will
continue to have frequent contact with advisees.
Administrative oversight of the process through the Campus
Directors facilitates early recognition and resolution of
potential advising issues.
