FACULTY/STAFFING NEEDS The anticipated staff needs with the GCFN program will be phased in over the next five years. Teaching assignments will need to be adjusted to facilitate faculty working on development of the program. Additionally one part-time lecturer, who is a noted expert in our community within the specialty of forensic nursing, is needed to assist with program development and instruction. In the SON, there is a vast amount of experience and expertise to guest lecture in the courses. There are also experts from other departments at OU who have expressed the desire to guest lecture in areas of their expertise. The table below details faculty within the SON who have the expertise to teach within the program: Faculty Teaching/Lecturing in Graduate Certificate in Forensic Nursing Program Faculty Topic of Expertise Department within Oakland University Kelly Berishaj, DNP Death Investigation / SANE Nursing Renae Diegel, MS SANE / Death Investigation / IPV Nursing Margaret Glembocki, DNP SANE / IPV / Death Investigation Nursing Kim Holka, MSN Emergency Preparedness Nursing Stephanie Vallie, MSN Pediatrics in Forensics Nursing Claudia Grobbel, DNP Leadership / Policy Nursing Karen Dunn, PhD Gerontology Nursing Cheryl Riley-Ducet, PhD Psychiatric Nursing Nursing Kathleen Spencer, DNP Military Affairs Nursing David Schwartz, PhD Suicide/Anxiety/Depression Identification Graham Health Center C.

EXPERT GUEST LECTURERS Expert guest lectures outside the university are essential to the education of graduates for the GCFN program. Most experts that are currently practicing in the field of forensics offer these services without associated fees. Some experts will require a fee and travel expenses. These potential fees have been listed in the budget worksheet (see section B).

ADMINISTRATIVE PROFESSIONALS/CLERICAL SUPPORT At this time, the faculty developing this program will need minimal assistance from administrative professionals as the faculty will perform their own services such as advising and mentoring of the students. We expect to use no more than 25% of the SON’s administrative professionals and clerical support time. F. SPACE REQUIREMENTS All courses are proposed to be held at OU’s Macomb County site, the Anton Frankel Center. Classrooms will need to accommodate approximately 15-20 students the first semester and 20-25 students every semester thereafter. The program also requires use of a laboratory facility for learning and demonstrating assessment of the patient. G. LIBRARY NEEDS A list of books and journal subscriptions has been communicated with the SON’s librarian. See Appendix A for the Library Report.

IMPACT ON OTHER PROGRAMS IN THE SCHOOL OF NURSING There could be a possible increase in enrollment in the ADN to BSN program.
