Pediatric nursing educators in both academic and practice settings have expressed significant concerns regarding the decreased amount of pediatric content and clinical experiences within pre-licensure educational programs. In addition, data gathered at a national conference of pediatric staff nurses, researchers, educators and administrators indicated there are concerns about the quality and quantity of future pediatric-nurse educators, the availability of acute care learning experiences, as well as the changing nature of today's nursing students and children's families.
