ASU has continued to evolve as an institution of higher education throughout its 100 year history and has recently matured into a university system. The ASU system has four campuses (Jonesboro, Beebe, Newport, and Mountain Home) and two branch campuses (Searcy and Heber Springs) as well as partnerships with area community colleges and a degree center (Arkansas Northeastern College at Blytheville, East Arkansas Community College at Forrest City, Mid-South Community College at West Memphis, Black River Technical College at Pocahontas and the ASU degree center at Paragould). ASU is accredited by The Higher Learning Commission of the North Central Association and holds 22 specialized accreditations. ASU offers programs at the associate, bachelor, master, specialist and doctoral degree levels. The main campus, ASU-Jonesboro (ASU-J), is located in northeast Arkansas in Jonesboro, a city of more than 67,000 people. Jonesboro is the trade, cultural and medical hub for a market area of over 400,000 people. Agriculture, industry and medical facilities are the principal employers in the area. The only public institution of higher learning in the region, ASU-J is also a primary attraction and employment opportunity in the city of Jonesboro. In addition, the campus provides and supports many cultural events in the area via its museum, library facilities, on-going heritage preservation activities and [4] sporting events. Current heritage sites include the Hemingway-Pfeiffer Museum, the Southern Tenant Farmer’s Museum, Lakeport Plantation (the last remaining antebellum home in Arkansas) and the Dyess Colony. The Dyess Colony was an agricultural resettlement community during the New Deal and includes the boyhood home of singer Johnny Cash. The combined efforts of ASU, its many supporters, and many gracious country music entertainers, have resulted in great strides toward the restoration and preservation of this historical landmark. The people of Jonesboro and its surrounding area also enjoy and support ASU-J athletics. The ASU-J athletic teams are very competitive in Division 1 of the National Collegiate Athletic Association. The campus community and fans are especially proud of our Sunbelt Conference champions’ Red Wolf football team! One of “60 elite institutions of higher learning” recognized in the 2011 edition of “America’s Best Colleges” by U.S. News & World Report, ASU-J is honored to be a Tier 1 southern regional institution. The ASU-J campus has approximately 14,000 students currently enrolled. The culture of our campus is changing with the rapid growth of the international and graduate student populations. Academically ASU-J is organized into ten colleges: Agriculture and Technology, Business, Communications, Education, Engineering, Fine Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences, Nursing and Health Professions, Sciences and Mathematics, and University College. The School of Nursing (SON) is a part of the College of Nursing and Health Professions (CNHP). Other programs/departments (and their respective degrees) in the College are communication disorders (baccalaureate/master), [5] clinical laboratory science (associate/baccalaureate), medical imaging and radiation sciences (associate/baccalaureate), physical therapy (associate/doctorate), and social work (baccalaureate/master). The School of Nursing offers the associate, baccalaureate, and master’s degrees. The associate degree options are offered as traditional and Licensed Practical Nurses (LPNs) to associate degree on all campuses except the Jonesboro campus. ASU-J offers the LPN to AASN option and serves as the distance education hub. The traditional BSN degree is offered on the Jonesboro campus as well as transition programs for both LPNs and RNs to earn a bachelor’s degree in nursing. In addition, a Second Degree Accelerated BSN program is offered over a 12-month period. The RN to BSN option is offered on the web with individual arrangements for clinical practicum experiences. The MSN degree is offered on the Jonesboro campus. All options are offered in a combination of online and traditional classes. Students. The total enrollment for the School of Nursing in Fall 2011 is 744. Total AASN enrollment: 237 Total BSN enrollment; 296 Total MSN enrollment 211 Faculty. The number of full-time faculty in Fall 2011 is 38; the number of adjunct faculty is 46. Three non-nurse faculty teach a basic nutrition course. A person with an earned medical degree teaches anatomy, physiology, and pathophysiology for the nurse anesthesia option. Adjunct faculty are employed [6] on an as needed basis. While most adjunct faculty are teaching clinical sections on the Jonesboro and/or distant campuses, a few adjunct faculty are teaching didactic courses in the BSN and/or MSN programs. During the academic year, several faculty teach across programs. Of the 38 full-time faculty, seven teach in the MSN Program only, eleven in the BSN program only, and ten in the AASN program only. Four faculty teach in the AASN and BSN programs, and three faculty teach in the BSN and MSN programs. One full-time master’s prepared nursing faculty is in charge of the Clinical Learning Center (CLC) on the Jonesboro campus; this faculty works with other faculty in courses and facilitates and assists with simulations across programs. [Note: Part-time faculty at ASU are termed adjunct faculty when hired each term on an as needed basis rather than on contract in a budgeted line. The term, part- time faculty is used for persons hired on a contract in a budgeted line. Adjunct faculty is the term used throughout the Self Study for faculty teaching on a part time basis per term.] History. Nursing began as an academic discipline at ASU when the associate degree program (now the AASN program) was established in 1969. Initial accreditation for this program was received in 1970. Because of the interest in baccalaureate nursing education, the traditional BSN program was established in 1974 and received initial accreditation in 1981.
