Background: Benchmarking faculty workload is key for equity, but a standard model like the Carnegie Unit, originally designed for student workload, does not fit all scenarios.
Methods: A novel Faculty Effort Data Collection Tool assessed whether the Carnegie Unit accurately reflected faculty effort in a graduate nursing program. Workload was evaluated course-by-course based on faculty self-reported hours.
Background: Nurse practitioner (NP) faculty assess student acquisition of knowledge through examinations, simulation, and clinical performance.
Problem: Developing appropriately leveled curriculum, assessments, and clinical expectations that accurately capture student maturation presents a challenge.
Approach: The Reporter, Interpreter, Manager, Educator (RIME) provided the framework for doctor of nursing practice NP curriculum redesign to enhance student performance and content mastery.
