According to AACN’s report on 2012-2013 Enrollment and Graduations in Baccalaureate and Graduate Programs in Nursing, U.S. nursing schools turned away 79,659 qualified applicants from baccalaureate and graduate nursing programs in 2012 due to an insufficient number of faculty, clinical sites, classroom space, clinical preceptors, and budget constraints. Clearly we need more nurse educators and a great way to begin your transition is to explore adjunct teaching opportunities.
Welcome to my new blog. My name is Deborah and I am a nursing professor, researcher, health advocate, and author of The New Nurse Educator: Mastering Academe that was published by Springer in 2013, and The Nurse Professional: Leveraging Your Education for Transition into Practice published by Springer in 2014 in addition to multiple publications. I am passionate about the nursing profession and love being a nurse educator. I would like to inspire experienced nurses to consider a transition into the world of education, and new nurses as they complete their academic journeys and transition into professional practice.
