Number of Pages 11

This research paper: An 11 page paper discussing the shortage of nurse educators and offering alternatives for alleviating this shortage that exacerbates the larger nursing shortage. In a self-perpetuating cycle, the nursing shortage now has begun promoting itself by means of a shortage of nursing educators. Nearly 33,000 qualified applicants were turned away from four-year and graduate programs in 2004 because of the shortage of educators, almost 4,000 of those were applying to graduate school and could have become educators themselves. The paper suggests opening additional graduate school spaces; develop creative means of recruiting graduate students; improving the image of nursing and its working conditions; recruiting non-nurses to teach courses such as process flow and management; and enlisting the aid of private insurers that recognize the financial benefits of greater numbers of nurses. Bibliography lists 11 sources.
