FY08 – Goal 5 Streamline college processes for enhanced efficiency and effectiveness

• Strategic Plan• Budget• New course scheduling plan• Aligning staff positions• Develop new policy and procedures


The profession of nursing is experiencing the double-edged sword


AACN Report on 2006-07 Enrollment/Graduations

U.S. nursing schools turned away 42,866 qualified applicants for B.S.N. and M.S.N. programs due to insufficient

number of faculty, clinical sites, classroom space, preceptors, & budget constraints.


MCN is right in that mix:

Fall 2008Prelicensure program:

Received 298 applicants for 80 seats

Average GPA of accepted students = 3.77

Average ACT of accepted students = 25

Lowest GPA of accepted students = 3.53


January 2009Accelerated Option

Received 79 applicants for 20 seats


• Health Resources & Services Administration project nationwide nursing shortage of more than 1 million nurses by 2020 • American Hospital Association reported need for approximately 118,000 RN to fill current vacant positions nationwide • MCN has the potential to be the largest, high quality nursing program in the state of Illinois


Issues related to increasing enrollment:

• Faculty• Tenured/Tenure Track = 13 (3 are in administrative positions)• Non Tenure Track = 12 (1 is in administrative position)• Part Time = 25

• Clinical Lab and Classroom Space• Clinical Sites• Computer Lab Space• Support Staff (Advising, Lab, Technology)• Space
