Book excerpt: The current qualitative phenomenological study involved identifying and exploring the factors contributing to the nursing faculty shortage of Western Massachusetts. Through interviews, 24 participants, including 5 for the pilot study, identified and discussed the reasons why they chose not to teach, or to continue to teach, and why registered nurses did not choose faculty teaching as a career track in education. Poor salaries were the primary factor contributing to the shortage of nursing faculty in Western Massachusetts. Participants provided personal insight and suggestions concerning various educational institutions in Western Massachusetts and participated in a Massachusetts survey that examined many suggestions to alleviate the faculty shortage in Western Massachusetts.

Book excerpt: The nation is facing a critical shortage of registered nurses (Keller & Jones, 2004). At a time when the health care industry requires more nurses, the capacity of the nursing education system is diminishing (Henry & Zane, 2006). The nursing shortage is intricately tied to the nursing faculty shortage (AACN, 2006). The shortage of nurses requires educational programs to supply more graduates; however, the shortage of nursing faculty limits student enrollments and likely decreases the number of graduates. The nursing shortage is due, in the past, to a decrease in the number of individuals entering the profession. Additionally, an inadequate number of teaching facilities, a limited number of clinical sites, and decreased availability of qualified nursing faculty are contributing to the shortage (AACN, 2006). Nursing is bound in an ideology based on women's duty and members of the profession have had to battle sexist beliefs and values (Orla & Reilly, 2003). Hierarchies within the health care system and academia place the status of women subservient to men. Subsequently, the crisis in the nursing profession cannot be explored without examining the relationship between the role of the nurse and the position of women (Kane & Thomas, 2000). The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore the influence of gender, practice, and policy on the nursing faculty shortage as perceived by nurse educators. Using a qualitative approach through the phenomenological method, the researcher elicited information about lived experiences of female nurse educators. Feminist critical analysis provided the framework to explore the nursing faculty shortage. Two major themes were revealed: "Being a woman, nurse, and faculty member" and "Gender-role conflict." Minor themes that expressed the richness of the major themes included: gender role orientation, reward and punishment in higher education, paradoxical communication, us and them mentality, lack of support within the profession, and more career opportunities for women. The data indicated nurse educators perceive that employment in gendered institutions may influence their work environments, compensation levels, and federal and state policy development thus contributing to the nursing faculty shortage.

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.

Book excerpt: While hospitals are facing an endless number of challenges ranging from financial challenges to healthcare reform implementation to patient safety and quality, a challenge that has proven to be consistently plaguing hospitals is the efficient staffing of nurses. According to the American College of Healthcare Executives, shortage of staff has been in the top five issues facing hospital CEOs (Hospital, 2011). In the past few years, the healthcare industry contributes more jobs to the economy than any other industry. Even though this is the case, the demand for some health professionals is still greater than the supply available. The exact number of nurses in demand varies from hospital to hospital, publication to publication, but the overall consensus remains the same: there are not enough nurses currently working and the problem is going to continue to get worse. The reason for this nursing shortage cannot be easily explained, as there are several contributing factors. The nursing shortage has been growing since the 1980s and becoming increasingly severe. It has been projected that the shortage could reach 800,000 nurses by the year 2020 (HeartMath, 2004). It was originally believed that this shortage was caused by the increasing demand of health care services due to the aging population. During the 1990s, there were attempts to recruit more nurses and this seemed like a simple solution to the problem. However, even with the growing number of students entering nursing school, the shortage continued to grow (HeartMath, 2004). These factors were making it clear that the nursing problem was complex and worthy of further exploration. This capstone will provide an understanding of the numerous factors that contribute to the nursing shortage, explore the impact of the nursing shortage on the health care system, and iv will help identify possible solutions to the growing problem. The major factors contributing to the nursing shortage problem include: 1. Workplace Climate 2. Shortage of Experienced Nursing Faculty After these factors are explored and identified, the impact of the nursing shortage on health care will be presented, and long-term and short-term solutions to the problem will be discussed and evaluated. Long-term solutions include increased recruitment of nurses through the expansion of facilities and the retainment of faculty in schools. Another long-term solution is the participation of hospitals in the development and aid to existing schools. A final long-term solution to the nursing shortage is the development of public-private partnerships to implement policy that will help to turn the problem around and foster relationships between stakeholders that have similar interests in different fields. Short-term solutions include the retention of current nurses through reward accomplishment, providing an attractive compensation and benefits plan, and offering job stability. Other short-term solutions include the utilization of technology-based training, and redesigning work content and the role of the nurse to be more flexible in nature. A final short-term solution is the implementation of an automated staffing system that will help provide more power to the nurses and help with job satisfaction. The nursing shortage currently in effect is expected to get worse before it gets better. A report done by Price Waterhouse Cooper forecasts a registered nurse shortage ranging from 400,000 to one million by the year 2020. The combination of an increasing demand for services and the constant decline of nurses available is compounding the problem by adding pressure to the supply and demand forces at work (Neisner, 2002). Nurses have increasingly become v perceived as undervalued and overworked with less than desirable working conditions. There are various reasons that lead to the complex nursing shortage problem.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The decade ahead will test the nation's nearly 4 million nurses in new and complex ways. Nurses live and work at the intersection of health, education, and communities. Nurses work in a wide array of settings and practice at a range of professional levels. They are often the first and most frequent line of contact with people of all backgrounds and experiences seeking care and they represent the largest of the health care professions. A nation cannot fully thrive until everyone - no matter who they are, where they live, or how much money they make - can live their healthiest possible life, and helping people live their healthiest life is and has always been the essential role of nurses. Nurses have a critical role to play in achieving the goal of health equity, but they need robust education, supportive work environments, and autonomy. Accordingly, at the request of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, on behalf of the National Academy of Medicine, an ad hoc committee under the auspices of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine conducted a study aimed at envisioning and charting a path forward for the nursing profession to help reduce inequities in people's ability to achieve their full health potential. The ultimate goal is the achievement of health equity in the United States built on strengthened nursing capacity and expertise. By leveraging these attributes, nursing will help to create and contribute comprehensively to equitable public health and health care systems that are designed to work for everyone. The Future of Nursing 2020-2030: Charting a Path to Achieve Health Equity explores how nurses can work to reduce health disparities and promote equity, while keeping costs at bay, utilizing technology, and maintaining patient and family-focused care into 2030. This work builds on the foundation set out by The Future of Nursing: Leading Change, Advancing Health (2011) report.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: National predictions forecast a significant shortage of registered nurses by 2020, with one of the major causes of the shortage being a lack of qualified nurse educators. Predictions for the state of Ohio mirror the national picture; however, there is little research about nursing faculty in the state, or their intentions related to their academic role. This dissertation analyzed what factors, if any, predict intent to leave academe within five years. Participants included 426 full-time nursing faculty from 60 public and private, not-for-profit nursing programs in Ohio, including both pre-licensure and advanced degree programs. A web-based survey was used to obtain faculty data. Blocked stepwise regression analysis revealed four significant predictors of intent to leave academe within five years - age, years ago highest nursing and non-nursing degree were earned, and overall satisfaction. The results of the research can be used to guide the development of strategies to retain nursing faculty in academe in the state of Ohio. Future research should be encouraged to explore the underlying issue related to the faculty shortage and its implications for the nursing shortage.
