TDD # 801-321-7130. 3 September 5, 2007 MEMORANDUM TO: State Board of Regents FROM: Richard E. Kendell SUBJECT: Weber State University – Master of Science in Nursing Effective Spring 2008 – Action Item Issue Weber State University (WSU) requests approval to offer a Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) effective Spring 2008. This program was approved by the Weber State University Board of Trustees on May 15, 2007. Background The Master of Science in Nursing program is designed to address an increasing nursing shortage and the corresponding shortage of nursing faculty. The proposed program will prepare: 1) nurse administrators, 2) college-level nursing faculty, and 3) nurse educators employed within health care institutions. The concentrations of nursing educator and nurse administrator will prepare students for advanced careers in nursing. Both concentrations are specifically intended for individuals with nursing experience who want to advance their careers as nurse administrators or college faculty. Some Utah hospitals, such as Intermountain Healthcare, are requiring nurses to seek advanced degrees beyond the traditional two or four years of nursing education. This requirement has greatly increased the demand for nurses with a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN). The increased demand for BSN nurses has, in turn, increased the demand for nursing faculty with graduate nursing degrees. At the same time, health care organizations have also increased their demand for MSN nurses because of their value as nursing administrators. Utah’s nursing shortage will not be addressed until the supply of MSN nurses is increased. The MSN program will be delivered through a mix of online and traditional face-to-face instruction; eighty percent of the instruction will be delivered through online technology and 20 percent of the instruction will be delivered through traditional, face-to-face instruction. Students will receive 99 contact hours of traditional face-to-face instruction in a classroom setting. In addition, students will complete a 180-hour residency, and the residency will be supervised in a traditional fashion. In total, students will receive 279 hours of traditional nursing instruction, either in the classroom or in a residency. A core of courses is available to prepare those students who intend to seek a doctorate of nursing at the University of Utah or at another university which offers the doctorate of nursing. The creation of the MSN will not detract from the undergraduate program. By increasing the number of MSN faculty in the region, the addition of the proposed program will eventually enhance the quality of WSU's undergraduate programs and other undergraduate nursing programs in the state. Weber State University already prepares nurses who enter LPN, associate and baccalaureate degree programs. Funding is available through internal and external sources. Some new faculty will need to be hired over the next five years. Policy Issues While expressing support for the proposed program, Utah Valley State College asked about the ratio of online to classroom courses in this program. WSU officials provided the information which is contained in the “Background” section. Commissioner’s Recommendation The Commissioner recommends that the Regents approve Weber State University’s request to offer a Master of Science in Nursing effective Spring 2008. ____________________________ Richard E. Kendell, Commissioner REK/PCS Attachment 2 3 Academic, Career and Technical Education, and Student Success Committee Action Request to Offer a Master of Science in Nursing Weber State University Prepared for Richard E. Kendell by Phyllis C. Safman September 5, 2007 SECTION I: THE REQUEST Weber State University (WSU) requests approval to offer a Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) effective Spring 2008. This program was approved by the Weber State University Board of Trustees on May 15, 2007. SECTION II: PROGRAM DESCRIPTION The Master of Science in Nursing program is designed to address an increasing nursing shortage and the corresponding shortage of nursing faculty. The proposed MSN program will prepare: 1) nurse administrators, 2) college-level nursing faculty, and 3) nurse educators employed within healthcare institutions. The concentrations of nursing educator and nurse administrator will prepare students for advanced careers in nursing. Both concentrations are specifically intended for individuals with nursing experience who want to advance their careers as nurse administrators or college faculty. The proposed MSN degree consists of 36 credit hours beyond the earned baccalaureate degree. This includes core courses (15 credits) and concentrations of nurse administrator or nurse educator (21 credits per concentration). At the completion of their graduate work, students may also choose to take a second level of advanced core courses (9 credits) that will prepare them to continue into a doctoral program in nursing. The WSU graduate nursing program is developed with “hybrid” courses which blend online and face-to-face pedagogy. The majority of the program coursework will be online with a few scheduled classroom experiences. The curricula for the proposed program are guided by the accreditation standards and educational competencies of the National League for Nursing Accrediting Commission

    ISSN 2373–874X (online) 017-01/2016EN Baseball: a U.S. Sport with a Spanish- American Stamp Orlando Alba 1 Topic: Spanish language and participation of Spanish-American players in Major League Baseball. Summary: The purpose of this paper is to highlight the importance of the Spanish language and the remarkable contribution to Major League Baseball by Spanish- American players. Keywords: baseball, sports, Major League Baseball, Spanish, Latinos Introduction The purpose of this paper is to highlight the remarkable contribution made to Major League Baseball (MLB) by players from Spanish America both in terms of © Clara González Tosat Hispanic Digital Newspapers in the United States Informes del Observatorio / Observatorio Reports. 016-12/2015EN ISSN: 2373-874X (online) doi: 10.15427/OR016-12/2015EN Instituto Cervantes at FAS - Harvard University © Instituto Cervantes at the Faculty of Arts and Sciences of Harvard University quantity and quality.1 The central idea is that the significant and valuable Spanish-American presence in the sports arena has a very positive impact on the collective psyche of the immigrant community to which these athletes belong. Moreover, this impact extends beyond the limited context of sport since, in addition to the obvious economic benefits for many families, it enhances the image of the Spanish-speaking community in the United States. At the level of language, contact allows English to influence Spanish, especially in the area of vocabulary, which Spanish assimilates and adapts according to its own peculiar structures. Baseball, which was invented in the United States during the first half of the nineteenth century, was introduced into Spanish America about thirty or forty years later.
