Fiscal; physical, and learning resources are sustainable and sufficient to ensure the achievement of the student learning outcomes and program outcomes of the nursing education unit.

CRITERION 5.1

Fiscal resources are sustainable, sufficient to ensure the achievement of the student learning outcomes and program outcomes, and commensurate with the resources of the governing organization.

Lake-Sumter State College (LSSC) is a state-funded public institution of the Florida College System. Fiscal resources for the nursing program include funding from state appropriations, student tuition and fees, local area hospitals, the LSSC Foundation, and grants. Annual budgetary allocations are adequate to support the purpose of the nursing program and are sufficient to ensure the achievement of student learning outcomes and program outcomes. One of the primary financial tools used by LSSC to ensure that financial resources are properly managed is the development and implementation of the annual operating budget. As part of the annual budget process, all budget managers are invited to the college’s planning council to present budget expansion and cost-to-continue requests. After meeting with budget managers, the associate vice president of business services compiles a draft of all requested financial resources and distributes the list of funding requests to the planning council and president’s cabinet for institutional prioritization. A final draft of the college-wide institutional budget is then recommended to the board of trustees for review and approval by the LSSC Board of Trustees. The nursing director is the budget manager for the program. Although there is one nursing program budget, the director administers the budget for both campuses (Leesburg and South Lake) to ensure budget adequacy and appropriateness to support student learning. Faculty members submit items needed for instructional support to the director annually and as needed, for consideration in budget planning. The nursing director keeps a prioritized list of un-funded requests in the event that additional funds, e.g. lottery dollars, become available throughout the fiscal year.

In addition to state appropriations, tuition, and fees, financial support from hospital partners and grant funds are used to enhance learning activities and develop specialized projects. The program budget is equitable to other departments based on the number of full-time equivalent (FTE) personnel. Because of the need to attract highly qualified nursing professionals, the personnel budget for nursing faculty is approximately 20 percent higher than for other departments, enabling the college to offer competitive salaries with competing agencies. The nursing budget for the past three years is presented in Table 5.1.1 and shows a slight increase in funding each year. This table highlights the college’s commitment to the financial success of the program’s operation and provides a comparison of the nursing program budget with the

biology program budget. Operating budgets for the nursing program for the past three years are available in the document display room.

* The Biology Department was selected as a comparable department because of its lab-based components.

Educational program reviews, which are conducted by faculty on a three-year cycle, provide information on each program’s effectiveness. The most recent program review for nursing was completed in 2011-12 and identified strengths, areas needing development, and future plans. Recommendation 6 of the 2011-2012 ADN program review focused on equitable facilities available for students on the South Lake campus. Specifically, the recommendation was, by 2015, to “enlarge the South Lake skills lab and build a simulation lab comparable to the one on the Leesburg campus.” The college has received three million dollars for planning a state of the art science building that will include lab space and will request additional building funds in 2015- 2016.

An annual employee satisfaction survey is distributed to all faculty and staff to assess their satisfaction with the LSSC working environment. On the 2013-14 Employee Satisfaction Survey, specifically question 2.2, employees were asked to rate their satisfaction (very satisfied, satisfied, somewhat satisfied, dissatisfied, or very dissatisfied) with specified issues. Of the 220 responses to item 2.2, “What is your level of satisfaction that LSSC provides the resources (e.g., technology, equipment, supplies) needed to perform your job duties to ensure service

excellence?” 71 respondents indicated they were very satisfied; 52 were satisfied; 61 were somewhat satisfied; 31 were dissatisfied; and 5 were very dissatisfied.

LSSC has a separate technology budget, which is reviewed annually by the technology planning committee (TPC). This committee includes broad-based representation of faculty, staff, and college administrators and is responsible for oversight and coordination of college-wide

technology. The TPC actively solicits the involvement and input of all college stakeholders in its planning. The committee meets monthly to review requests and make recommendations. The TPC reports on its activities to the college planning council and cabinet. For the 2014-2015 academic year, approximately $350,000 was allocated by the institution for replacement of outdated technology. The committee has approved a targeted replacement cycle of

approximately six years for desktop and laptop computers, ten years for AV projectors, and five years for servers.

There are other sources of funding for the nursing department. These include hospital contractual support, McLin Medistation® Grant, Central Florida Area Health Education Center (CFAHEC) Grant, Occupational Safety & Health Administration (OSHA) Susan Harwood

Capacity Building Development Grant, and LSSC Endowed Scholarships through the Foundation. Documenting support, Table 5.1.2: documents the value of these additional funding sources for the nursing program.

Physical resources related to technology include teaching stations in the classrooms and labs and technology in faculty offices. Each year the college’s technology inventory is tallied, reviewed, categorized, and processed through a first-in, first-out (FIFO) replacement planning cycle. Academic needs are weighted much higher when developing the Technology Refresh

Plan; therefore, classrooms and labs are almost always given a higher priority. The Technology Refresh Plan is then presented to the college’s Technology Planning Committee for review, comment, and ultimate approval; the final list is recommended to the president’s cabinet for adoption and funding. The college’s refresh standards and replacement plan are presented in the 2013-16 LSSC Technology Plan, available for review in the document display room. Most nursing classrooms are “smart” classrooms equipped with LCD projectors for PowerPoint presentations, DVD projection and document cameras. For any area not fully equipped, faculty may request portable audio-visual equipment. Computer carts equipped with an LCD projector, document camera, DVD player, VCR and LCD projector are available for classroom use. eLearning staff is available for training purposes. A Turning Point interactive student response system is available for use in the classroom for faculty to gain quick access to student

understanding when presenting difficult subjects.

As discussed previously, the nursing skills labs on both campuses are equipped with state-of- the-art simulation technology. Skills lab content is taught by full-time and part-time faculty members who have also demonstrated expert clinical skills.

There are 50 HP core i7 computers designated for nursing students in the computer labs (HSC Rooms 107 and 108) on the Leesburg campus. The Leesburg campus library provides an open computer lab which may be used any time the library is open. The lab has 36 desktop

computers using Windows 8.1 with Microsoft Office 2013 Professional. Dedicated science lab computers are also in the Learning Center. An Optelec machine for reading assistance is available in the Learning Center.
