ASSOCIATE OF SCIENCE PRACTICAL NURSINGTHE FACULTY AND STUDENTS FOR THE DIVISION OF NURSING ASSESSMENT COMMITTEE REVIEWED THE ASSESSMENT AND PROGRAM DATA FOR THE 2017-2018 ACADEMIC YEAR ON 1 MAY 2018 AS WELL AS AT A DECEMBER 2017 MEETING. ALL FIRST YEAR AND SECOND YEAR STUDENTS WERE INCLUDED IN THE END OF THE TERM ASSESSMENT MEETINGS TO REVIEW TEXTS, COURSES, AND THE PROGRAM FOR EACH SEMESTER. THE SPRING SEMESTER MEETING INCLUDED A REVIEW OF THE OVERALL YEAR. FACULTY REVIEWED THE HESI RESULTS SEPARATELY, AS THESE RESULTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE UNTIL MAY 3.STATISTICSTHE NURSING PROGRAM EXPERIENCED A SLIGHT DROP IN ENROLLMENT OF DECLARED MAJORS TO 22 THIS FALL AS ADVERTISING FOR ADDITIONAL FACULTY HAD MISTAKENLY LEAD PEOPLE TO THINK THE PROGRAM WAS CLOSING. ENROLLMENT WAS BACK UP TO 27 STUDENTS IN THE SPRING. THE LARGEST INDICATION OF PROGRAM GROWTH OCCURRED IN THE SPRING WHEN THERE WERE 13 STUDENTS IN THE FORMAL CURRICULUM - 11 STUDENTS AT THE FIRST CURRICULUM YEAR LEVEL AND 2 STUDENTS AT THE SECOND CURRICULUM YEAR LEVEL. TWO STUDENTS WILL GRADUATE FROM THE PRACTICAL NURSING BASIC PROGRAM THIS WEEK. REVIEWOVERALL, THE STUDENTS ARE VERY HAPPY WITH THE NURSING PROGRAM. WHILE ADMITTEDLY A DIFFICULT PROGRAM, THE GRADUATING STUDENTS VOICED THAT THEY ARE FEELING PREPARED TO GO INTO PRACTICE. THE STUDENTS LIKE THE WORK ON HEAD TO TOE ASSESSMENTS EACH SEMESTER THAT BRINGS BOTH CLASSES TOGETHER TO WORK ON THE ASSESSMENT. THIS REMAINS VERY WELL RECEIVED AND STUDENTS ARE DEMONSTRATING STRONGER ASSESSMENT SKILLS. THE OPEN LAB TIME AND THE AVAILABILITY OF THE FACULTY WERE NOTED TO BE SIGNIFICANT COMPONENTS TO THE NURSING PROGRAM AS WELL.STUDENTS ARE HAPPY WITH THE TEXTBOOKS IN GENERAL. THE STUDENTS EXPRESSED A REQUEST FOR EXPANDING THE USE OF THE CLINICAL ESSENTIALS MEDIA USED IN THE SPRING FUNDAMENTALS CLASS. THE MEDIA HAS CONTENT THAT CAN BE INCLUDED THROUGHOUT ALL FOUR SEMESTERS OF THE PROGRAM.STUDENTS CONTINUE TO EXPRESS CONCERN REGARDING THE AVAILABILITY OF THE NURSING LAB FOR PRACTICE HOURS. HAVING THE SECOND YEAR CLASSES SCHEDULED IN STC 129 HAS ALLEVIATED SOME OF THE PROBLEMS WITH HAVING THE PRACTICE LAB OPEN. MAKING SURE TO KEEP THE LAB OPEN DURING AT LEAST TWO OF THE LUNCH HOURS HAS HELPED AS WELL. IN ADDITION, A LAB TECHNICIAN POSITION IS BEING ADVERTISED. A PAST GRADUATE HAS EXPRESSED SOME INTEREST IN APPLYING FOR THIS POSITION.HESI SUBJECT TESTS WERE UTILIZED AGAIN FOR WEEKLY TESTING FOR THE CAPSTONE COURSE AS TEST PREPARATION. STUDENTS WERE VERY HAPPY WITH THE STUDY MATERIALS THAT WERE WITH THE TESTING AND THAT THE TESTING PROVIDED REGULAR PRACTICE AT THE COMPUTERIZED TESTING THAT THEY WILL EXPERIENCE FOR THEIR LICENSURE EXAM.HESI EXAM SCORES WERE SATISFACTORY THIS YEAR. BOTH GRADUATING STUDENTS ARE PREDICTED TO PASS THE LICENSURE EXAM. ONE STUDENT DOES HAVE SIGNIFICANT TEST ANXIETY AND SO IS AT RISK. THESE STUDENTS HAVE WORKED ON PLANNING FOR TEST PREPARATION FOR THEIR LICENSING EXAMS. ACTIONSCAPSTONE CONTINUES WITH A WEEKLY CLASS THAT STUDENTS THIS YEAR FOUND VALUE IN WHILE DOING THE TESTING AND REVIEWS. THE STUDENTS STRESSED THIS WAS A BENEFICIAL EXPERIENCE AND RECOMMENDED THAT BOTH THE WEEKLY TESTING AND THE WEEKLY MEETINGS BE CONTINUED AS WELL AS THE COMPUTERIZED TESTING.THE DEPARTMENT WILL BE SEEKING ADDITIONAL INSTRUCTORS. WE CURRENTLY HAVE SEVEN STUDENTS ELIGIBLE FOR ADMISSION BUT ARE RESTRICTED TO FIVE BY THE CLINICAL SITES AND HAVING ONLY ONE CLINICAL INSTRUCTOR. IN ADDITION, THE SCHEDULING OF THE CLASSROOM TIME NEEDS TO INCLUDE A SECOND CLASSROOM TO FACILITATE NURSING LAB ACCESS.NORTH DAKOTA BOARD OF NURSINGTHE ANNUAL REPORT SUBMITTED TO THE NORTH DAKOTA BOARD OF NURSING IN SEPTEMBER WAS ACCEPTED. THE SITTING BULL COLLEGE NURSING PROGRAM HAS FULL ACCREDITATION THROUGH NOVEMBER 2020. A SUCCESSION PLAN WAS SUBMITTED TO SITTING BULL COLLEGE IN MAY 2017 AND ACCEPTED. THIS PLAN WAS PRESENTED TO THE ND BOARD OF NURSING AT THEIR MAY 2017 MEETING.A COMPLIANCE REPORT WAS SUBMITTED 2 MAY 2017 THAT INCLUDED THE PROGRESS ON THE SUCCESSION PLAN AND ON PERSONNEL AND WORKLOAD ISSUES THAT THE SURVEYORS AND ND BOARD OF NURSING HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT. A SECOND REPORT WAS SUBMITTED TO THE ND BOARD OF NURSING IN JULY 2017. THE ND BOARD OF NURSING HAS REQUESTED AN ADDITIONAL REPORT BE SUBMITTED IN JULY 2018. THE BOARD REMAINS CONCERNED ABOUT PERSONNEL AND WORKLOAD AS WELL AS THE LIMITING OF THE GROWTH OF THE PROGRAM BECAUSE OF NOT ENOUGH PERSONNEL.2. GENERAL STUDIES - BACHELOR OF SCIENCE, ASSOCIATE OF ARTSSTATISTICSTHE BACHELORS OF SCIENCE IN GENERAL STUDIES PROGRAM WILL NOT GRADUATE ANY STUDENTS. THERE ARE FIVE STUDENTS ENROLLED IN THE BACHELOR'S PROGRAM. THE ASSOCIATES OF ARTS IN GENERAL STUDIES WILL GRADUATE ONE STUDENT. FA-17 THERE WERE 54 STUDENTS IN THE ASSOCIATES DEGREE PROGRAM & SP-18 THERE WERE 62 ENROLLED, ALL OF WHOM ARE ADVISED BY THREE DIFFERENT ADVISORS. AS ADVISORS, WE TRY TO HAVE STUDENTS MAJOR IN ANOTHER DEGREE PLAN BY THE END OF THEIR 2ND SEMESTER. REVIEWALL STUDENTS IN THE BACHELOR OF SCIENCE IN GENERAL STUDIES DEGREE PROGRAM TAKE THE HUM 497 CAPSTONE COURSE FOR ONE CREDIT TO GATHER ASSESSMENT DATA. THE FACULTY OF RECORD FOR THIS CLASS DELIVERS THE COURSE INDEPENDENT STUDY ON MYSBC. HOWEVER, ALL THE PROGRAM ASSESSMENT DATA IS GATHERED IN THIS COURSE, SO IF THERE ARE NO STUDENTS IN THE CAPSTONE, THERE IS NO DATA. A SOLUTION IS TO GATHER SOME DATA IN A STATISTICS COURSE. THE AA GENERAL STUDIES DEGREE ADDED A ONE CREDIT CAPSTONE COURSE TO HELP ASSIST IN GATHERING ASSESSMENT DATA. STUDENTS PREPARE A REFLECTION PAPER, CONDUCT A SERVICE LEARNING PROJECT, AND PRESENT A POWER POINT PRESENTATION TO A FACULTY PANEL. THE ONE GRADUATE DID EXTREMELY WELL IN ALL ASPECTS OF THIS CAPSTONE COURSE. ACTIONSFACULTY OF RECORD WILL MEET AT LEAST TWICE A SEMESTER WITH ALL CAPSTONE COURSE STUDENTS (297 & 497). MORE CONVERSATION IN THE DEPARTMENT WILL BE HELD ON HOW TO ASSESS STUDENTS IN THE BEGINNING, MIDDLE, AND END OF THE DEGREE PLAN WITH EASE. 3. BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION PROGRAM ASSOCIATES AND BACHELOR'S DEGREESSTATISTICSTHIRTY-THREE STUDENTS HAVE BEEN ENROLLED IN THE AA DEGREE FOR THE FALL 2017 AND SPRING 2018 SEMESTERS. ELEVEN STUDENTS WERE ENROLLED IN THE BS DEGREE FALL 2017 AND SPRING 2018. THREE STUDENTS WILL GRADUATE WITH AN ASSOCIATE'S DEGREE. SEVEN STUDENTS WILL GRADUATE WITH A BACHELOR'S DEGREE. SUMMARYTHE BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION PROGRAM FUNCTIONS WITH TWO FULL TIME INSTRUCTORS AND FIVE ADJUNCT INSTRUCTORS. PERFORMANCE IS OFTEN AT A HIGHER LEVEL IN THE UPPER LEVEL BACHELORS COURSES. A CHALLENGE STUDENTS HAVE FACED THIS PAST YEAR ARE PERSONAL ISSUES WHICH HINDER ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE. MY WISH LIST FOR RESOURCES FOR STUDENT SUCCESS IS INCREASED ACCESS TO DAYCARE AND FUNDING FOR HOUSING OR FOR RESIDING IN THE DORMS. STUDENTS HAVE APPROACHED THE ADVISOR REGARDING FUNDING FOR STARTING A BUSINESS. THIS IS EXCITING!!!!THE INTERNSHIP AVAILABLE THROUGH AMAZON RECEIVED A LOT OF INTEREST. THERE WERE SOME BUMPS IN THE ROAD. WE HOPE TO CONTINUE WITH THIS OPPORTUNITY. RECOMMENDATIONSFULL TIME FACULTY SHOULD VISIT AREA HIGH SCHOOLS IN AN EFFORT TO RECRUIT STUDENTS DIRECTLY FROM HIGH SCHOOL. THERE SHOULD BE AN ACTIVITY ASSOCIATED WITH THE VISIT SHOULD AS AN INVITATION TO A COMMUNITY EVENT OR AN ACTIVITY SURROUNDING MONEY AND INVESTING. THE REVITALIZATION OF AIBL HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL IN GETTING THE PROGRAM PUBLICITY. SEVERAL PARTICIPANTS IN AIBL ARE NOT BUSINESS STUDENTS BUT ARE HAPPY TO PARTICIPATE. WRITING SKILLS ARE A CHALLENGE FOR SEVERAL STUDENTS. THE WRITING LAB IS ALWAYS RECOMMENDED. FACULTY OFTEN ASSIST STUDENTS WITH WRITING. RECRUITMENT IN THE AREA HIGH SCHOOLS WOULD BENEFIT THE PROGRAM. AIBL STUDENTS AND THEIR ADVISOR HAVE VISITED A HIGH SCHOOL. THE ADVISORY BOARD HAS SUGGESTED MOVING FORWARD WITH DEVELOPING A PLAN TO ENCOURAGE STUDENT TO STUDY OVERSEAS AT SOME POINT IN THEIR ACADEMIC CAREER. 9366139 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 44 0 1 215 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 7 7 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 0 X KOREEN RESSLER 7018548001 9299 HIGHWAY 24 FORT YATES ND 58538 SHARON TWO BEARS CHAIR 1.50 X X 3940 0 0 SAMI CLAYMORE SECRETARY 1.50 X X 4156 0 0 ROBERT GIPP BOARD MEMBER 1.50 X 2271 0 0 WILBUR RED TOMAHAWK BOARD MEMBER 1.50 X 2633 0 0 PAUL ARCHAMBAULT BOARD MEMBER 1.50 X 2952 0 0 JEFF CADOTTE SR BOARD MEMBER 1.50 X 2651 0 0 AVIS LITTLE EAGLE BOARD MEMBER 1.50 X 2272 0 0 LAUREL VERMILLION PRESIDENT 40.00 X 104044 0 22405 KOREEN RESSLER VICE PRESIDENT 40.00 X 99912 0 20061 ELISABETH HERTEL HR DIRECTOR 40.00 X 52712 0 14975 DAVE MUELLER IT/FINANCE DIRECTOR 40.00 X 84435 0 18815 361978 0 76256 1 0 0 0 MARION TRUCKING 219 4TH ST W DUNSEITH ND 58329 CONSTRUCTION OF STUDENT HOUSING 451331 1 90978 90978 PROGRAM GRANTS 611600 9412883 9412883 TUITION AND OTHER LOCAL 611600 2481610 2481610 BOOKSTORE SALES 611600 556900 556900 12451393 98981 98981 CONSTRUCTION 230000 44185 44185 SBC TECH 541519 2690 2690 46875 12688227 12451393 46875 98981 1131886 1131886 417359 375623 41736 4919531 2951719 1967812 232133 139280 92853 729367 437620 291747 439836 263901 174791 1144 30596 30596 41578 41578 307928 307928 452107 347875 104232 1418290 1418290 BOOKS/PROGRAMS/STUDENT 1824092 1139658 684434 SUPPLIES 713372 451837 261535 EQUIPMENT RENTAL AND MA 701977 607138 94839 CONSTRUCTION 98682 98682 2630 2630 13461364 9366139 4094081 1144 2830986 476855 500000 1762072 1738846 41042 46660 336158 336158 79939 78288 33211864 13234665 20765127 19977199 14311 1559941 111852 178744 25941487 24892691 364990 201902 599277 463185 516855 540376 1481122 1205463 X 2082237 2093789 20765127 19977199 1613001 1616240 24460365 23687228 25941487 24892691 -773137 0 X X 0 1 X 1 1 1 X 1582450 17105 3575 2183 1600947 1369179 14922 4381 1582450 1476680 19492 82262 4775 1369179 1386619 13164 84783 7886 1476680 1369179 43662 26222 1386619 0.40000 0.60000 0 0 114285 114285 27661330 9614976 18046354 2312497 2026011 286486 3123752 1593678 1530074 19977199 ACCRUED COMPENSATION AND VACATION 306424 ACCRUED RETIREMENT 232133 DUE TO STUDEN ACTIVITY 1819 540376 X 11745439 0 11745439 942788 942788 12688227 12518576 0 12518576 942788 942788 13461364 PART V, LINE 4: THE ENDOWMENT FUNDS ARE TO BE USED FOR SCHOLARSHIPS TO STUDENTS AND TO SUPPORT THE COLLEGE'S ACTIVITIES.
