The<a href=\"http:\/\/advertise.nurse.com\/blog\/nursing-schools-explore-ways-fill-faculty-vacancies\/\"> current nursing faculty shortage<\/a> is leading to qualified nursing school applicants being turned away, class sizes increasing, smaller graduating classes and fewer nurses out in the marketplace for recruiters to hire.<\/p>\n<p>Suffice it to say, a faculty shortage makes the overall nursing shortage worse.<\/p>\n<p>And the numbers are disturbing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cU.S. nursing schools turned away 75,029 qualified applicants from baccalaureate and graduate nursing programs in 2018 due to insufficient number of faculty, clinical sites, classroom space, clinical preceptors and budget constraints,\u201d said the American Association of Colleges of Nursing\u2019s report,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.aacnnursing.org\/Portals\/42\/News\/Factsheets\/Faculty-Shortage-Factsheet.pdf?ver=2019-04-02-160735-400\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">\u00a0&#8220;2018-2019 Enrollment and Graduations in Baccalaureate and Graduate Programs in Nursing&#8221;.<\/a> \u201cMost nursing schools responding to the survey pointed to faculty shortages as a reason for not accepting all qualified applicants into baccalaureate programs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to a <a href=\"https:\/\/money.cnn.com\/2018\/04\/30\/news\/economy\/nursing-school-rejections\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">2018 report by CNN<\/a>, there is an acute nursing shortage in the U.S., but schools are turning away thousands of qualified applicants as they struggle to expand class size and hire more teachers for nursing programs.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>It\u2019s hard to imagine that many young and second-career prospective students looking for admission to nursing programs are being turned away simply because there is no one to teach them.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Candidates cannot understand why they are not getting accepted into any nursing program while at the very same time they hear nursing is in the midst of a <a href=\"http:\/\/advertise.nurse.com\/blog\/where-will-nursing-shortage-be-how-can-we-overcome-it\/\">national nursing shortage<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3>Nursing faculty shortage problem is not new<\/h3>\n<p>None of this is news to you\u00a0and none of it is new.<\/p>\n<p>The faculty shortage didn\u2019t just start. The signposts have been clear to nursing leaders and HR and recruitment specialists for a number of years.<\/p>\n<p>Along with aging and retirement, there were other contributing and causative factors that included:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Lower, non-competitive <a href=\"http:\/\/advertise.nurse.com\/blog\/nurse-com-releases-nursing-salary-research-report\/\">salaries for faculty<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Cost of advanced degree education<\/li>\n<li>Faculty schedules and workloads<\/li>\n<li>New and emerging career paths for nurses in general<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Many of us have heard and read about these issues and discussed them at meetings and seminars.<\/p>\n<p>You recognized the problem clearly and you did what nursing always does. You took action and worked together and showed there is <a href=\"http:\/\/advertise.nurse.com\/blog\/where-will-nursing-shortage-be-how-can-we-overcome-it\/\">strength in numbers when it comes to taking on a challenge<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>You didn\u2019t just stand by wringing your hands. You took the necessary steps to solve some of the biggest and most obvious problems and answer some of the most pressing questions and concerns around the faculty shortage issue.<\/p>\n<p>The nursing literature is full of information on the work you did, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Forming partnerships between schools of nursing and healthcare facilities<\/li>\n<li>Designing innovative programs to fill in for shortages in teaching and clinical preceptorships<\/li>\n<li>Collaborating with recruiters from schools of nursing and hospitals to provide innovative curricula,\u00a0flexible scheduling and additional teaching opportunities for faculty and learning opportunities for students<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>The hard truth about shortages<\/h3>\n<p>Despite all the work and efforts put forth, the problem now is reaching crisis proportions.<\/p>\n<p>The stakeholders currently involved are faculty from schools of nursing, healthcare and nursing leadership, and professional nursing organization leaders.\u00a0They see the most recent statistics on the faculty shortage as worrisome at least and critical at worst. They know they need to work together harder than ever.<\/p>\n<p>In a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.waldenu.edu\/connect\/newsroom\/publications\/articles\/2018\/01-can-the-national-nursing-faculty-shortage-be-solved\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">recent article, Walden University Associate Instructor Katie Notch <\/a>agreed, saying all stakeholders must unite to address the problem.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cFaculty shortages at nursing schools across the country are limiting student capacity at a time when the need for professional registered nurses continues to grow,\u201d said the\u00a0American Association of Colleges of Nursing, an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aacnnursing.org\/News-Information\/Fact-Sheets\/Nursing-Faculty-Shortage\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">important stakeholder in the faculty shortage issue<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Because of the domino effect of a nursing faculty shortage, nursing programs are suffering in many ways, as are prospective nursing students, hospitals, other healthcare facilities and ultimately, our patients.<\/p>\n<h3>There\u2019s still much we can do<\/h3>\n<p>What can we all do to help address the problem? Think outside the box and ask questions of one another.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>What if all nursing educators didn\u2019t need to be clinicians first, or if faculty salaries were commensurate with nurse salaries in hospitals? What if everyone brainstormed with their colleagues and came up with a new group think that might work?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Write, talk and share ideas. Use social media to get your ideas out to others. Speak with new nurses about teaching as a career path. Set up seminars and meetings to brainstorm new faculty models.<\/p>\n<p>We need nurses and teachers to teach them. There\u2019s still much we can do.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/advertise.nurse.com\/contact-blog\/\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11441 size-full\"
