This article gives a detailed description of the Mentoring Program at Fayetteville State University. The program was developed and in implemented by the University College of Fayetteville State University and has played a key role in the academic success of students. This purpose of this paper was to provide information about an approach that may assist nursing faculty teaching minority students and others to more effectively promote their academic success.
The purpose of this descriptive study was to examine the marketing, recruitment and retention policies and practices with reference to African American nursing students in baccalaureate nursing programs. The sample consisted of top-ranked and southern nursing schools accredited by the National League for Nursing (N = 49). Findings indicate that African American enrollment in nursing schools has not changed demonstrably over the past 10 years. High schools (78%) and community colleges (61%) were the main markets for recruiting African American students. Two approaches, rated as successful in retaining African American nursing students, were use of African American counselors and student housing. The college catalog was no longer the method used most frequently for marketing nursing programs.
Teaching portfolios are emerging as one of the most useful tools in faculty evaluation processes today. More of a summative evaluation process than a formative process, the teaching portfolio allows nurse faculty to document authentic examples of teaching effectiveness in both classroom and clinical settings. The use of the teaching portfolio as a mechanism to facilitate nurse faculty evaluation in the area of teaching is described. Practical suggestions concerning portfolio development and evaluation are offered.
