Overview
The Tennessee Board of Regents (TBR) has developed a five-year incentive pay program aimed at supporting nursing and surgical technology faculty who teach on-ground in rural settings. This program is designed to help address workforce shortages in rural Tennessee, particularly in healthcare, by incentivizing qualified faculty to teach in eligible rural areas.
Eligibility Criteria
Faculty members must meet the following criteria to be eligible for the incentive program:
• Must teach in Nursing (A.A.S.), Pre-Practical Nursing, Licensed Practical Nursing, or Surgical Technology program.
• Must teach on-ground in a county designated as rural by the Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development (ECD).
• Faculty teaching in non-eligible campuses but delivering courses on eligible branch campuses are also eligible.
• Only the primary instructor (faculty of record) will qualify for the stipend in team-taught courses.
Administrators and staff members, such as nursing education coordinators, clinical placement coordinators, and simulation lab managers, are not eligible for the stipend.
Incentive Structure
The incentive pay for full-time and part-time faculty will be determined based on credit hours or clock hours taught in eligible rural locations. Full-time faculty stipends will be capped at 15 credit hours per term, while part-time faculty will receive a weighted stipend based on the number of credit hours taught.
The amount paid to each faculty member will fluctuate based on the total number of participating faculty, eligible teaching load, and the total available funds for each term.
