  • Title: Implementing a new faculty workload formula.
    Author: Durham S, Merritt J, Sorrell J.
    Journal: Nurs Educ Perspect; 2007; 28(4):184-9. PubMed ID: 17715802.
    Abstract:
    The severe shortage of nursing faculty in recent years has led to changes in faculty mix, with nursing programs relying on increased numbers of faculty members prepared at the master's level for coverage of nursing courses. To address the impact of these changes on faculty workload, one nursing program established a Workload Task Force to develop a workload formula that would recognize teaching, scholarship, and service contributions of all faculty members and help ensure equity in workload assignments. Details of the workload formula are offered, along with recommendations for gaining the support of faculty and ensuring transparency in implementation.
