What are we planning to work on

The FSM Nursing Board has approved the COMFSM Nursing to adopt the FSM Nursing Board Performance Competency Assessment Tool to be used in assessing our soon to be graduating students. Results of the assessment is being forwarded to the Nursing Board Administrator for licensing support document.

Work closely with the Nursing Instructor on how to assist students that are failing in his/her class to improve the passing rate.

Continue working with our stakeholders in hiring our newly graduate nurses. Follow up with stake holders on the job performance with our graduates, to assess the level of competency and performance.

Implement that students should take anatomy and physiology, biology microbiology along with other general education courses prior to level I courses.

Recommendations for students:

During academic Advisement, all pre -requisite (A&P, Microbiology, biology) are given prior to entering the level I.

In a yearly basis, coordinate with stakeholders about job performance of the nursing graduates using employer satisfaction survey.
