    Area of Science:

    • Healthcare Workforce Development
    • Nursing Education
    • Public Health Policy

    Background:

    • A significant shortage of registered nurses (RNs) impacts healthcare delivery across the United States.
    • Nursing schools face capacity limitations due to a critical lack of qualified faculty.
    • This faculty deficit prevents the admission of sufficient students to meet the growing demand for RNs.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the impact of faculty shortages on nursing school enrollment capacity.
    • To identify the root causes of the nursing faculty deficit.
    • To propose actionable strategies for hospitals to mitigate the RN shortage by supporting nursing education.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review on nursing faculty demographics and recruitment challenges.

  • Analysis of nursing school admission data in relation to faculty availability.
  • Case studies of successful hospital-nursing school partnerships.

    • Main Results:

    • Faculty shortages are a primary barrier to increasing nursing school enrollment.
    • Limited faculty directly correlates with the inability to train enough new registered nurses.
    • Hospitals have the resources and strategic imperative to invest in nursing education.

    Conclusions:

    • Addressing the registered nurse shortage requires a multifaceted approach, with a critical need to expand nursing education capacity.
    • Hospitals must play a pivotal role in supporting nursing schools through faculty development, mentorship programs, and financial investment.
    • Proactive engagement by healthcare institutions is essential to build a sustainable and robust future nursing workforce.
