Area of Science:

  • Nursing Education
  • Educational Mobility
  • Social Barriers

Background:

  • Educational mobility in nursing is shifting responsibility from individuals to programs.
  • Existing artificial barriers impede equitable access to nursing education and career advancement.
  • Previous analyses in educational literature provide a foundation for understanding these barriers.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explicate and identify artificial barriers to educational mobility in nursing.
  • To extend existing educational literature by analyzing specific barriers within the nursing context.
  • To encourage the nursing community to address its role in perpetuating these barriers.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of educational literature to identify and extend concepts related to educational mobility.
  • Exploration of specific barriers: program autonomy, pedagogical assumptions, technical-professional distinctions, cultural-class differences, and employer practices.
  • Argumentative approach to demonstrate how these factors act as socially constructed barriers.

Main Results:

  • Identified program autonomy, pedagogical assumptions, technical-professional distinctions, cultural-class blindness, and employer practices as key socially constructed barriers.
  • Demonstrated that these barriers restrict educational mobility for individuals in the nursing field.
  • Highlighted that recognizing these barriers is essential for uncovering underlying motives that restrict mobility.

Conclusions:

  • The nursing education community must acknowledge and confront its role in maintaining barriers to educational mobility.
  • Eradicating artificial barriers requires a critical examination of program structures, pedagogical approaches, and societal influences.
  • Addressing these systemic issues is vital for fostering greater equity and opportunity in nursing education.
