title: Comparing the teaching effectiveness of part-time & full-time clinical nurse faculty.
abstract: The purpose of this study was to compare the teaching effectiveness of part-time and full-time clinical nursing faculty. Results indicate that students rank part-time faculty as significantly less effective than full-time faculty on each of five categories measured by the Nursing Clinical Teacher Effectiveness Inventory and on the overall scale. These results are supported by the finding that there is no significant difference between student ratings of teacher effectiveness and the self-ratings of the teachers themselves.
