The nursing faculty shortage is directly related to the ongoing shortage of nurses. As a result of many nursing faculty retiring, the discipline of nursing is losing its most experienced educators. The need is great for programs that will increase access and prepare nurse educators. Doctorate degrees for nurses have evolved in myriad ways. Discussions over the nature of doctoral education for the preparation of nurse educators are at the forefront of debates in nursing education. In response to National League for Nursing (2007; Core competencies of nurse educators, http://www.nln.org/profdev/corecompletter.htm) and Institute of Medicine (2010; The future of nursing: Leading change, advancing health. Washington, DC: National Academies Press, http://thefutureofnursing.org/IOM-Report) calls to increase the number of nursing faculty, the colleges of nursing and education at a major university have combined to establish a collaborative doctoral program. This article describes the historical evolution of the nursing doctorate degrees and the development and implementation of the EdD in Instructional Leadership for Nurse Educators.
护理师资短缺与持续的护士短缺直接相关。由于许多护理师资退休，护理学科正在失去其最有经验的教育工作者。对于能够增加入学机会并培养护士教育工作者的项目需求巨大。护士博士学位已经以多种方式发展。关于培养护士教育工作者的博士教育性质的讨论处于护理教育辩论的前沿。为响应美国国家护理联盟（2007年；护士教育工作者的核心能力，http://www.nln.org/profdev/corecompletter.htm）和医学研究所（2010年；护理的未来：引领变革，促进健康。华盛顿特区：美国国家科学院出版社，http://thefutureofnursing.org/IOM-Report）增加护理师资数量的呼吁，一所主要大学的护理学院和教育学院联合设立了一个合作博士项目。本文描述了护理博士学位的历史演变以及针对护士教育工作者的教学领导力教育博士学位的发展与实施。
