In 2003, the John A. Hartford Foundation Institute for Geriatric Nursing (Hartford Institute), in collaboration with the American Association of Colleges of Nursing, conducted a survey of baccalaureate schools of nursing in the United States to compare gerontological content to baseline data collected by the Hartford Institute in 1997. Since last surveyed in 1997, baccalaureate nursing programs have been the recipients of substantial new resources and initiatives focused on gerontological curriculum enhancement. While these initiatives are ongoing, and some are in an early stage of development, resurveying baccalaureate programs was seen as a means of taking a midcourse "pulse" as to the effectiveness of these efforts. Data suggest that there has been a fundamental shift in baccalaureate curriculum toward incorporation of a greater amount of gerontological content, integration of gerontological content in a greater number of nursing courses, and more diversity of clinical sites used for gerontological clinical experiences. As baccalaureate programs increasingly address the need to enhance gerontological nursing curricula, there continues to be an obligation to address the growing shortage of faculty with qualifications in gerontological nursing.
2003年，约翰·A·哈特福德老年护理基金会研究所（哈特福德研究所）与美国护理学院协会合作，对美国的护理学学士学位授予学校进行了一项调查，以便将老年护理内容与哈特福德研究所1997年收集的基线数据进行比较。自1997年上次调查以来，护理学学士学位课程已获得大量新资源，并开展了以加强老年护理课程为重点的举措。虽然这些举措仍在进行中，有些还处于早期发展阶段，但对护理学学士学位课程进行重新调查被视为了解这些努力成效的一种中期“把脉”方式。数据表明，护理学学士学位课程发生了根本性转变，包括纳入了更多的老年护理内容，在更多护理课程中整合了老年护理内容，以及用于老年护理临床实习的临床场所更加多样化。随着护理学学士学位课程越来越多地满足加强老年护理课程的需求，解决老年护理资质教师日益短缺的问题仍然是一项义务。
