The teacher crisis in nursing education--revisited.
The nationwide shortage of teachers is severely and negatively impacting nursing. Many qualified applicants are being rejected by nursing schools, yet the quality of programs is jeopardized when faculty are hired with limited teaching experience and little, if any, formal education as teachers. The author reviews the development and status of graduate nursing education for teachers, documents strong arguments for increasing the number of graduate programs to prepare more teachers of nursing, and raises important questions about teacher education.
