Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationships among education, teacher self-efficacy, and career satisfaction of nurse faculty to career commitment. The specific aim of this study is to propose and test a model that explains the variables needed to increase the career commitment of nurse faculty in academia. The hypotheses included the following statements. In the teaching nurse faculty population: H1. Education is (a) positively directly related to career commitment, (b) positively indirectly related to career commitment via career satisfaction and (c) positively indirectly related to career commitment via teacher self-efficacy. H2. Teacher self-efficacy is (a) positively directly related to career commitment and (b) positively indirectly related to career commitment via career satisfaction. H3. Career satisfaction is positively directly related to career commitment. This study used a cross-sectional survey design. An online survey containing three scales: career satisfaction, teacher efficacy beliefs and career commitment, was developed to obtain data. The analytic sample consisted of nurse faculty (N=470) from Northeastern and Southern Regions of the United States accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE). Descriptive analyses were conducted and assumptions were tested. Multivariate regressions and a path analysis were utilized to determine the relationships of the variables to career commitment. Teacher self-efficacy and career satisfaction both predict career commitment in the teaching nurse faculty sample. Career satisfaction did mediate the teacher self-efficacy and career commitment relationship in the teaching nurse faculty sample. The relationship between career satisfaction and career commitment was significant and statistically positive in the teaching nurse faculty. Education was not directly or indirectly related to career commitment in the teaching nurse faculty sample. However, education measured by the number of credit hours did significantly predict teacher self-efficacy. Model fit indices confirm the Career Commitment for Teaching Nurse Faculty model fits the data. This study is important to the increase and development of graduate nursing education programs. The results may guide the education needs of qualified, confident and satisfied nurse faculty who are committed to their careers, thus providing valuable insight to the education needs of nurse faculty.

Download or read book Career As a Nurse Educator written by Institute for Career Research and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-04-15 with total page 34 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A BETTER TIME to consider a career in the nursing field. The nursing shortage in the US has been worsening for several years and there appears to be no end in sight. The demand for nursing services has been growing steadily due to an aging population, greater access to health insurance, and an increased emphasis on preventive care. As a result, the country will need 1.13 million more nurses by 2022, according to the American Nurses Association. However, there is a problem. The healthcare industry cannot keep up with the growing demand for new nurses because there are not enough nurse educators to train them. Without teachers, schools cannot accept new students. According to the National League for Nursing survey, more than half of all nursing schools turn qualified applicants away each year. That means there is tremendous opportunity for nurse educators who are prepared to fill the many open faculty positions. Anyone who chooses to become a nurse educator will most likely have a choice of employers.

Download or read book The Future of Nursing written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2011-02-08 with total page 700 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Future of Nursing explores how nurses' roles, responsibilities, and education should change significantly to meet the increased demand for care that will be created by health care reform and to advance improvements in America's increasingly complex health system. At more than 3 million in number, nurses make up the single largest segment of the health care work force. They also spend the greatest amount of time in delivering patient care as a profession. Nurses therefore have valuable insights and unique abilities to contribute as partners with other health care professionals in improving the quality and safety of care as envisioned in the Affordable Care Act (ACA) enacted this year. Nurses should be fully engaged with other health professionals and assume leadership roles in redesigning care in the United States. To ensure its members are well-prepared, the profession should institute residency training for nurses, increase the percentage of nurses who attain a bachelor's degree to 80 percent by 2020, and double the number who pursue doctorates. Furthermore, regulatory and institutional obstacles-including limits on nurses' scope of practice-should be removed so that the health system can reap the full benefit of nurses' training, skills, and knowledge in patient care. In this book, the Institute of Medicine makes recommendations for an action-oriented blueprint for the future of nursing.
