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.

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: The nursing faculty shortage is well documented. Higher education administrators turn away qualified student applicants because of the lack of qualified nursing faculty. Furthermore, they find recruitment and retention of qualified nursing faculty a challenge. The purpose of this study was to explore perceptions of the nursing faculty role, causes of the faculty shortage, and solutions to the shortage as perceived by: (1) nurses currently in a faculty role and (2) nurses with a master's degree who were not employed in a full-time faculty position. A qualitative study using the phenomenological method was undertaken. Two groups of nurses were interviewed. The faculty group was eight nurses teaching full-time selected from faculty teaching in schools of nursing in West Virginia. The service group was eight nurses with masters' degrees in nursing but not in a faculty position selected from nurses licensed in West Virginia. In interviews, participants were asked to describe their current position, perceptions of the nursing faculty role, causes of the shortage, and solutions to the shortage. Participants believed the causes of the shortage included low salaries, lack of nurses with advanced degrees, nurses without training in teaching, and other career options. Their solutions included presenting a positive image of the nursing faculty role, supporting doctoral education, utilizing nurses with masters' degrees, mentoring new faculty, and networking with nurses in service positions. Those in both groups described a passion for nursing and teaching and viewed themselves as educators. The positive aspects of the faculty role were relationships with the students, watching students develop into nurses, relationships with colleagues, and flexible schedules. Nursing administrators will continue to be challenged with recruiting and retaining qualified nursing faculty. This study found that nurses in both faculty and service settings enjoyed teaching but they selected their positions based on cost-benefit analyses. In other words, for these participants, the costs of pursuing faculty positions are unduly high considering the perceived benefits.

Book excerpt: Rich, descriptive data gathered in this study revealed strategies employed by deans and directors, as they struggled to recruit and retain faculty at a time of burgeoning demand for the education of nurses. The single most important barrier was the lack of nurse faculty holding doctorate degrees that would make them eligible for promotion and tenure in their institution. The lower nurse faculty salaries when compared to clinical nursing salaries were identified as a significant barrier to recruitment of faculty. As identified by the deans and directors, factors that facilitate recruiting and retention of nurse educators included the presence of supportive administrators and research agendas anchored in collaborative relationships with a local healthcare system. The study affirmed prior research regarding the complexity of the issue and the need to identify successful practices, which will provide a long-term solution to the shortage of nurse faculty. The findings of this study provided guidance for deans and directors, as they work within their institution, to acquire the resources, including administrative support, for a comprehensive plan to address this shortage.

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.
