Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, according to the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN), 在对注册护士的需求持续上升的时候，护理教师的短缺限制了学生的能力.
The AACN’s 2018-2019 Enrollment and Graduations in Baccalaureate and Graduate Programs in Nursing report found that “nursing schools turned away 75,由于教师人数不足，2018年有029名本科和研究生护理专业的合格申请者, clinical sites, classroom space, clinical preceptors, and budget constraints.”
The AACN cites the following primary reasons for the nurse educator shortage:
- Faculty age continues to climb, and a wave of retirements is expected over the next 10 years
- Higher compensation in clinical settings draws candidates away from faculty roles
- 护理硕士和博士课程没有为护士教育幸运28计划提供足够的候选人
The result is that nurse educators are in very high demand. The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects a 18% increase in employment from 2022-2032, significantly higher than most other types of postsecondary teachers.*
Nurse educators generally practice in one or both of:
- Academic setting. 大学、学院、职业学校等.
