Internationally, nursing faculty shortages have been reported and there is a potential for them to worsen into the next decade as existing faculty age. To, in part, address this issue, across disciplines there is clearly an international trend towards the increasing casualisation of the higher education workforce. Despite the potential impact of this two-tiered workforce structure, there has been limited examination of the discipline specific issues related to the employment of a growing number of sessional nursing staff. This paper provides a critical review of the literature related to the employment of sessional teachers in higher education. The paper advances the discourse around the role and implications of employing sessional teachers in undergraduate nursing schools. Recommendations for supporting sessional staff and further research are presented.
国际上已经报告了护理教师短缺的问题，而且随着现有教师年龄的增长，这种情况在下一个十年有可能恶化。为了部分解决这个问题，不同学科都有一个明显的国际趋势，即增加高等教育劳动力的临时工比例。尽管这种双层劳动力结构可能产生影响，但对于越来越多的兼职护理人员就业所涉及的学科特定问题，研究还很有限。本文对与高等教育中兼职教师就业相关的文献进行了批判性回顾。本文推进了关于在本科护理学校雇佣兼职教师的角色和影响的讨论。本文提出了支持兼职员工的建议和进一步的研究。
