Abstract:
The twenty-something generation wants educators who nurture, motivate, and listen. Personal attention is important to these students who are entering nursing education programs that are under great pressure to produce more nurses. To compete with other career options and address the global nursing shortage, nursing education must be considered a collaborator, rather than a barrier. Aging faculty and declining faculty numbers increase the challenges related to recruiting and retaining the emerging workforce in nursing professions. This study explored what young students want in their faculty and new options for increasing the number of nursing graduates.
