Faculty Shortage Intensifies Nursing Crisis
America is grappling with a nursing shortage that jeopardizes patient care, largely due to a lack of faculty in nursing schools.
Despite increasing applications to nursing programs, many qualified students are turned away. This is primarily because the available faculty cannot meet the demand, leading to nearly twice as many rejections as admissions.
With the healthcare system in dire need of more nurses, this faculty shortage is a critical barrier. A Vanderbilt School of Nursing study predicts a shortfall of over 800,000 nurses by 2020.
In response, hospitals and universities are seeking unconventional solutions. Corporations like Johnson & Johnson are stepping in, launching initiatives to uplift the nursing profession by improving its image, attracting new nurses and educators, and retaining current ones.
“Too many qualified applicants are being turned away because schools lack faculty,” said Andrea Higham, director of The Johnson & Johnson Campaign for Nursing's Future. “We urgently need more educators to train and prepare new nurses.”
The campaign organizes Promise of Nursing galas, raising over $7 million for nursing school grants, scholarships, and faculty fellowships. By supporting graduate programs, they aim to provide essential teachers and mentors.
The nation’s health and future depend on addressing the faculty shortage, making it a priority for healthcare officials, governments, and citizens alike, emphasized Higham.
