NURSINGSTATISTICSTHE NURSING PROGRAM CONTINUES TO MAINTAIN ENROLLMENT OF DECLARED MAJORS IN THE AREA OF 31 STUDENTS EACH SEMESTER. IN THE SPRING THERE ARE A TOTAL OF 12 STUDENTS IN THE FORMAL CURRICULUM - 6 STUDENTS AT EACH LEVEL. FIVE STUDENTS WILL GRADUATE FROM THE PRACTICAL NURSING BASIC PROGRAM THIS WEEK. REVIEWOVERALL, THE STUDENTS ARE VERY HAPPY WITH THE OVERALL 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 STUDENTS ARE ALSO PLEASED WITH THE PRACTICE OF HAVING THE SECOND YEAR STUDENTS DO THEIR FINAL CASE STUDY IN FRONT OF BOTH GROUPS OF NURSING STUDENTS. FACULTY AVAILABILITY WAS A SIGNIFICANT PLUS TO THE NURSING PROGRAM AS WELL.STUDENTS ARE HAPPY WITH THE TEXTBOOKS IN GENERAL. THEY DISLIKED THE PSYCH/MENTAL HEALTH TEXTBOOK WHICH HAD BEEN CHANGED IN THE FALL OF 2015 AT THE REQUEST OF STUDENTS AND USING THE STUDENT CHOICE. THIS BOOK WILL BE CHANGED THIS COMING FALL AGAIN. THEIR RECOMMENDATIONS ARE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT WHEN ORDERING TEXTBOOKS FOR EACH SEMESTER. 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.HESI EXAM SCORES WERE UP THIS YEAR. ALTHOUGH ALL 4 STUDENTS WHO TESTED ARE PREDICTED TO PASS, 2 OF THESE STUDENTS ARE AT RISK. THESE STUDENTS HAVE BEEN WORKED WITH ON PLANNING FOR TEST PREPARATION FOR THEIR LICENSING EXAMS. ACCOUNTABILITY AND PROCRASTINATION ISSUES HAVE BEEN SIGNIFICANT PROBLEMS FOR STUDENTS THIS ACADEMIC YEAR. THE FACULTY CONTINUE TO WORK WITH THE STUDENTS ON THESE SKILLS. THESE STUDENTS AND ISSUES HAVE TAKEN A DISPROPORTIONATE AMOUNT OF FACULTY TIME.ACTIONSUSE OF MYSBC HAS INCREASED IN THE DEPARTMENT. STUDENT USE CONTINUES TO BE SPORADIC. IT DOES TAKE THE STUDENTS A PERIOD OF TIME TO LEARN TO USE MYSBC FOR TESTING AND SUCH. CAPSTONE CONTINUES WITH A WEEKLY CLASS AS STUDENTS CONTINUE TO NOT TAKE THE TEST PREPARATION SERIOUSLY. THIS DID INCREASE THE CONTACT WITH THE FACULTY AND INCREASE THE EMPHASIS ON TEST PREPARATION FOR THE LICENSING EXAM. THIS YEAR THE CLASS CONTINUED TO NOT UTILIZE THIS OPPORTUNITY FOR TEST PREPARATION AND STUDYING. AFTER THE HESI EXAM THE STUDENTS STRESSED THIS WAS A BENEFICIAL EXPERIENCE AND RECOMMENDED THAT BOTH THE WEEKLY TESTING AND THE WEEKLY MEETINGS BE CONTINUED.THE DEPARTMENT WILL BE SEEKING AN ADJUNCT INSTRUCTOR FOR THE FUNDAMENTAL NURSING SKILLS CLINICAL COMPONENT FOR THE FALL SEMESTER. IN ADDITION, THE SCHEDULING OF CLASSROOM TIME WILL NEED TO BE EXAMINED TO FACILITATE NURSING LAB ACCESS.NORTH DAKOTA BOARD OF NURSINGTHE ANNUAL REPORT WAS SUBMITTED TO THE NORTH DAKOTA BOARD OF NURSING IN SEPTEMBER AND WAS ACCEPTED. THE SITTING BULL COLLEGE NURSING PROGRAM HAS FULL ACCREDITATION THROUGH NOVEMBER 2020 FOLLOWING THE ND BOARD OF NURSING ACCREDITATION SITE VISIT WHICH WAS DONE IN THE FALL SEMESTER (OCTOBER). THE VISIT HAS RESULTED IN THE NURSING PROGRAM BEING REQUIRED TO DEVELOP AN ADDITIONAL ASSESSMENT/REVIEW OF THE OVERALL DEPARTMENT. THIS PLAN IS IN THE PROCESS OF BEING DEVELOPED. IT MUST BE SUBMITTED IN THE FALL OF 2016 WITH THE ANNUAL REPORT.ADDITIONALLY, THE BOARD OF NURSING HAD THE FINDING OF CONCERN REGARDING WORKLOAD AND CLERICAL SUPPORT FOR THE DEPARTMENT. A FOLLOW UP REPORT TO DOCUMENT PROGRESS ON ADDING ADDITIONAL CLINICAL FACULTY/LAB FACULTY AND ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT HELP FOR THE DEPARTMENT IS BEING REQUIRED FALL 2016. 2. GENERAL STUDIESSTATISTICSTHE BACHELORS OF SCIENCE IN GENERAL STUDIES PROGRAM WILL GRADUATE FOUR STUDENTS. ONE OF THE FOUR STUDENTS WILL GRADUATE WITH A CONCENTRATION IN NATIVE AMERICAN STUDIES. FA-15 THERE WERE 15 STUDENTS IN THE DEGREE PROGRAM; SP-16 THERE WERE 14 ENROLLED IN THE BACHELOR'S PROGRAM. THE ASSOCIATES OF ARTS IN GENERAL STUDIES WILL GRADUATE TWO STUDENTS. FA-15 THERE WERE 41 STUDENTS IN THE ASSOCIATES DEGREE PROGRAM & SP-16 THERE WERE 31 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. THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE IN COMPLETION FOR THE COURSE. SOME STUDENTS WHO HAVE STOPPED OUT ARE NOT MOTIVATED OR OVERWHELMED TO COMPLETE THE RESEARCH PROJECT. THE PROGRAM IS CONSIDERING OFFERING THREE OPTIONS FOR THE FINAL PROJECT: 1) RESEARCH; 2) SERVICE LEARNING; 3) DIGITAL STORYTELLING. AT THE TIME OF THE ASSESSMENT REPORT PRESENTATION, TWO OF THE CAPSTONE STUDENTS WERE GIVEN INCOMPLETES. DATA MAY NEED TO BE UPDATED DURING THE SUMMER TO REFLECT NEW DATA. THE AA GENERAL STUDIES DEGREE ADDED A ONE CREDIT CAPSTONE COURSE TO HELP ASSIST IN GATHERING ASSESSMENT DATA. STUDENTS SHOULD MEET WITH THE INSTRUCTOR FACE TO FACE TWO TIMES THROUGHOUT THE SEMESTER TO TALK ABOUT ISSUES AND GO THROUGH MATERIALS AND PROFESSIONALISM REQUIREMENTS. A RECORDED ORIENTATION ONLINE MIGHT ALSO HELP WITH THE OUTCOMES OF THE CLASS. 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 ADMINISTRATIONSTATISTICS: THERE WERE ON AVERAGE 26 STUDENTS ENROLLED AT THE ASSOCIATE LEVEL AND 13 AT THE BACHELOR LEVEL IN BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION FOR THE 2015-2016 ACADEMIC YEAR.REVIEW:-A GLOBAL COMPONENT SHOULD BE ADDED TO THE BUSINESS AND MARKETING PLAN RUBRICS. -ASSESSMENT TOOLS NEED TO BE EVALUATED AS HOW THEY FLOW BETWEEN THE A.A AND THE B.S. DEGREES. -THE DEPARTMENT NEEDS TO START LOOKING AT THE A.A. DEGREE AS THE FOUNDATION OF THE B.S. DEGREE. THEREFORE, THE DEGREES NEED TO BE BETTER INTEGRATED. -CORE COURSE ASSESSMENTS TOOLS SHOULD BE EVALUATED FOR RELIABILITY AND VALIDITY IN THE MEASUREMENT OF PRESENTATIONS AND PAPERS. -COMMUNICATION WITH ADJUNCTS CONTINUES TO BE AN ISSUE IN THE DEPARTMENT. -THE DEPARTMENT SHOULD CONTINUE TO REQUIRE WRITING AND PRESENTATION ASSIGNMENTS. ACTIONS:-INTEGRATE ASSIGNMENTS THROUGHOUT THE CURRICULUM WHICH ADDITIONALLY ADDRESS GLOBAL ISSUES. -COMPLETE A STORMING AND NORMING SECESSION FOR ALL DEPARTMENTAL RUBRICS INCLUDING BOTH THE B.S DEGREE AND THE A.A DEGREE. -REQUEST THAT THE FALL ADJUNCT MEETING BE HELD AT TIME WHEN FULL TIME FACULTY ARE AVAILABLE TO ATTEND IN ORDER TO ESTABLISH STRONGER ADJUNCT FULL TIME FACULTY RELATIONSHIPS. 7939328 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 1 120 0 1 221 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 CHAIRPERSON 1.50 X X 2400 0 0 SAMI CLAYMORE BOARD MEMBER 1.50 X 2100 0 0 GERALDINE AGARD BOARD MEMBER 1.50 X 1950 0 0 JEFF CADOTTE SR BOARD MEMBER 1.50 X 1950 0 0 FRANK JAMERSON BOARD MEMBER 1.50 X 1800 0 0 AMRBOSIA ERMENC BOARD MEMBER 1.50 X 150 0 0 WILBUR RED TOMAHAWK BOARD MEMBER 1.50 X 0 0 0 SHARON MARCOTTE DEAN OF ACADEMICS 40.00 X 9182 0 1222 LAUREL VERMILLION PRESIDENT 40.00 X 95928 0 10710 DAVE MUELLER IT/FINANCE DIRECTOR 40.00 X 80764 0 9203 KOREEN RESSLER VICE PRESIDENT OF OPERATIONS 40.00 X 106146 0 10882 302370 0 32017 1 0 0 0 SAYLER ELECTRIC 1719 CATHERINE DR BISMARCK ND 58501 ELECTRICIAN 127623 1 570614 570614 GOVERNMENTAL PROGRAM GRANTS 611600 8676706 8676706 TUITION AND OTHER LOCAL 611600 1088409 1088409 BOOKSTORE SALES 611600 428085 428085 10193200 176908 176908 CONSTRUCTION 230000 267475 267475 SBC TECH 541519 1898 1898 269373 11210095 10193200 269373 176908 789763 789763 367180 330462 36718 4047646 2453882 1578764 15000 173248 103949 69299 655383 394955 260428 369477 236866 132611 45370 45370 42087 42087 264021 264021 410199 306956 103243 1314970 1314970 BOOKS/PROGRAMS/STUDENT 1699062 1362723 336339 SUPPLIES 772205 376424 395781 EQUIPMENT RENTAL AND MA 360957 132663 228294 CONSTRUCTION 133889 133889 1826 1826 11447283 7939328 3492955 15000 1180590 1538090 1609132 1672175 32341 31893 336158 336158 87794 76654 36939 31551981 10326367 21422833 21225614 1141807 1196907 344444 301633 26192038 26379124 196731 337794 684691 843773 328538 452667 1209960 1634234 X 2238755 2171577 21422833 21225614 1320490 1347699 24982078 24744890 26192038 26379124 -237188 0 X X 0 1 X 1 1 1 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 1476680 19492 82262 4775 1573659 1386619 13164 84783 7886 1476680 1369179 43662 26222 1386619 1501929 -12336 120414 1369179 1539673 7120 57964 102828 1501929 0.86000 0.14000 0 0 114285 114285 27471613 7765857 19705756 2020642 1559463 461179 1945441 1001047 944394 21225614 ACCRUED COMPENSATION AND VACATION 279419 ACCRUED RETIREMENT 173248 452667 X 11210095 0 11210095 0 11210095 11447283 0 11447283 0 11447283 PART V, LINE 4: THE ENDOWMENT FUNDS ARE TO BE USED FOR SCHOLARSHIPS TO STUDENTS AND TO SUPPORT THE COLLEGE'S ACTIVITIES.
