The nurse faculty shortage has impacted current and future nursing workforce needs and health outcomes. What has not been expansively reported is the perspective of nursing program administrators as they grapple with the nurse faculty shortage and its effect in their schools.
The purpose was to explore nursing program administrators' perspectives of the nurse faculty shortage.
Administrators from 8 community colleges and 8 universities representing undergraduate and graduate nursing programs in the mid-Atlantic region participated in semistructured interviews pre-coronavirus disease (SARS COVID-19). Researchers used a 7-stage Heideggerian hermeneutic analysis.
Twenty-four interviews elicited 4 themes: onboarding and integration; "elephant in the room"; making do: getting by; and changing expectations.
Administrators faced increasing faculty workloads, academic/practice pay disparities, and staffing challenges-a stark contrast to their goal of teaching excellence, quality student outcomes, and faculty satisfaction. An unexpected finding was a deterioration in workplace climate and its untoward effects on meeting workforce needs.
护理师资短缺影响了当前及未来护理劳动力的需求和健康状况。尚未广泛报道的是护理项目管理人员在应对护理师资短缺及其对学校的影响时的观点。
旨在探讨护理项目管理人员对护理师资短缺的看法。
来自大西洋中部地区8所社区学院和8所大学的管理人员参与了代表本科和研究生护理项目的冠状病毒病（SARS-CoV-2）疫情前的半结构化访谈。研究人员采用了七阶段的海德格尔诠释学分析方法。
24次访谈得出了4个主题：入职与融入；“房间里的大象”（指明显存在却被忽视的问题）；凑合应对；以及期望的变化。
管理人员面临着教师工作量增加、学术/实践薪酬差距以及人员配备挑战，这与他们追求卓越教学、高质量学生成果和教师满意度的目标形成了鲜明对比。一个意外的发现是工作氛围的恶化及其对满足劳动力需求产生的不良影响。
