A model to identify direct costs of nursing education: the Colorado experience

During spring 2003, national, state, and local economic factors converged in a manner that propelled us to better identify the costs of the educational programs offered within the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center School of Nursing (SON). Two factors prompted analysis of direct costs of the nursing education programs: a shrinking state appropriation and a 36.7% rescission of state funds during that academic year. The SON supports 618 students in four programs (baccalaureate, master of science, doctor of nursing, and doctor of philosophy). During summer 2003, the SON leadership team met numerous times in an iterative process to clarify assumptions and make recommendations in an attempt to cost out academic programs. Data were obtained from a variety of sources. The SON Office of Budget and Finance provided revenue and expense data. The Office of Academic Affairs provided course schedules, the course offering plan, and projected student enrollment in courses. The Division Chairs provided data concerning faculty workload and faculty areas of expertise. The data were compiled in Access tables and arrayed in a series of Excel spreadsheets that captured course data and faculty data. A "what-if" analysis was completed to determine cost of a pilot accelerated baccalaureate program. This method provides a dynamic analytic system shown to be prospectively and retrospectively effective. As a result of this analysis, the following metrics are available: direct cost per student per course/program; revenue per student per course/program; faculty teaching FTE; and faculty-to-student ratio.

Introduction to decolonizing nursing

The fact that racism and other forms of discrimination and injustice have persisted in our own nursing communities despite our rhetoric of caring and compassion can no longer be denied. This fact gave rise to a webinar in which the scholars represented in this issue of Nursing Philosophy appear. The webinar centered on the philosophy, phenomenology and scholarship of Indigenous nurses and nurses of color. The authors of the articles in this issue are giving us the precious gift of their ideas. All of us, white scholars and scholars of color, must come together to receive this gift, learn from their words and their insight, debate the ideas, honor the perspectives, and consider ways that we can move this discourse forward to create new possibilities for nursing, new possibilities to shape the future development of our discipline.     

East and West of Main Street: Racism in Rural America

Abstract This article describes the presence in three rural communities of racism uncovered during recent community-analysis projects. The roots of racism are viewed and analyzed from three theoretical perspectives. Based upon theoretical concepts, intervention strategies are described, and suggested methods of implementation are offered that can guide the community health nurse in the legitimation and empowerment of the various oppressed groups in the communities served.
