UTA helps solve nursing faculty shortage
|
Last year, nursing schools across the country were forced to turn away more than 90,000 qualified applicants. The reason: a lack of faculty members to teach them and clinical sites to train them.
A team of University of Texas at Arlington faculty led by Ann Eckhardt, clinical associate professor and interim chair of graduate nursing programs in the College of Nursing and Health Innovation, received a state grant to help reverse that trend and increase the pool of nursing faculty, preceptors, and simulation coordinators.
