Project Summary/Abstract The 28 nursing programs at historically black colleges and universities (HBCUs) face several common challenges. Many of their students are low-income, enter with academic deficits, have children, and/or hold minimum-wage jobs, leading to weaker student retention, graduation and nursing-board passing rates. As institutional support has dropped in recent years, faculty and administrators have less time and resources to strengthen their teaching, leadership and student-preparation skills. HBCU nursing schools could benefit greatly from sharing successful teaching practices and student-support tools, yet no organization has ever brought them together. They have rarely collaborated simply for lack of resources and a mechanism. The National League for Nursing (NLN) represents 1,234 nursing programs and 40,000+ nursing faculty. It is the only entity whose senior executives have served as HBCU deans and faculty. NLN provides extensive training and coaching in academic leadership development, faculty development, and student performance. We propose forming the first ongoing coalition of HBCU nursing programs. At its first annual conference, we will introduce best practices and tools developed by successful schools and NLN to 5-person teams of key faculty and administrators from six schools in greatest need. For faculty participants, we will share resources to build pedagogical and clinical teaching skills. For deans and administrators, we will provide training on basic leadership skills; funding; budgeting; internal/external advocacy; and faculty performance. We will introduce PASS, a toolkit and guidance for faculty to better prepare their students for the nursing licensure exam (e.g., by providing students with NLN pre-test exams). Teams will collaborate in crafting a leadership and faculty development action plan tailored to its school's specific needs. Through periodic mentoring over 12 months, a follow-up local action group meeting, and a virtual follow-up meeting, NLN will help the schools complete and implement their action plans, deliver PASS to students, trouble-shoot problems, and evaluate and improve the coalition's programming. In the Year 2 conference, 2-3 schools will join the original six to craft action plans and build PASS into a model Student Success Support Center (SSSC). NLN will likewise support them with periodic mentoring and two mid-year follow-up meetings. The third annual conference will bring 2-3 more schools into this group to draft action plans, receive mentoring and mid-year support, and finalize the SSSC. Each year, we will evaluate key metrics, including student retention, graduation and nursing-board passing rates; faculty development activities; and curriculum changes. Finally, NLN will disseminate the resulting training program, SSSC toolkit and guidance, best practices, tools, and outcomes data throughout our nationwide membership. For the first time ever, this 3-year conference series would bring change agents from HBCU nursing schools together with experts to improve HBCU leadership skills, faculty skills, and student performance.

项目总结/摘要 在历史上黑人学院和大学（HBCUs）的28个护理项目面临着几个 共同的挑战。他们的许多学生都是低收入家庭，入学时学业有缺陷， 儿童，和/或持有最低工资的工作，导致较弱的学生保留，毕业和 护理委员会通过率。随着近年来机构支持的下降，教师和 管理人员有更少的时间和资源来加强他们的教学，领导和 学生准备技能。HBCU护理学校可以从分享成功的 教学实践和学生支持工具，但没有任何组织曾经带来他们 一起它们很少仅仅因为缺乏资源和机制而进行合作。的 全国护理联盟（NLN）代表1，234个护理项目和40，000多个护理项目 教师。它是唯一的实体，其高级管理人员曾担任HBCU院长和教师。 NLN提供广泛的培训和指导，在学术领导力的发展，教师 发展和学生的表现。 我们建议组建HBCU护理计划的第一个持续联盟。在其第一次年度 我们将介绍成功学校开发的最佳实践和工具， NLN向来自六所最需要帮助的学校的主要教师和管理人员组成的5人团队提供服务。为 教师参与，我们将分享资源，建立教学和临床教学技能。为 院长和行政人员，我们将提供基本领导技能，资金，预算， 内部/外部宣传;和教师的表现。我们将介绍PASS，一个工具包， 指导教师更好地为学生准备护士执照考试（例如，通过 为学生提供NLN预测试考试）。团队将合作打造领导力 和教师发展行动计划适合其学校的具体需要。 通过12个月的定期辅导、一次后续地方行动小组会议和一次 虚拟后续会议，NLN将帮助学校完成和实施他们的行动计划， 向学生提供PASS，解决问题，评估和改进联盟的 编程.在第二年的会议上，2-3所学校将加入原来的六个制定行动计划 并将PASS建成一个模范的学生成功支持中心（SSSC）。NLN将同样 通过定期辅导和两次年中后续会议支持他们。第三次年度 会议将使2-3所学校加入这个小组，起草行动计划，接受指导 和年中支持，并最终确定SSSC。每年，我们将评估关键指标，包括 学生保留率、毕业率和护士委员会通过率;教师发展活动; 和课程改革。最后，NLN将传播由此产生的培训计划，SSSC 工具包和指南、最佳实践、工具和全国范围内的成果数据 会员资格 有史以来第一次，这个为期3年的会议系列将带来HBCU的变革推动者 护理学校与专家一起提高HBCU的领导技能，教师技能， 学生表现。
