Abstract:
Baccalaureate nursing programs have been on the increase in Japan in the past few decades. However, the 18 year old population is on the decline. While nursing programs have been increasing, the number of high school graduates has decreased. The paradoxical phenomenon has started to affect nursing education, including shortages in faculty members and in clinical sites. The purpose of the present study was to identify actual or potential problems as a result of so many nursing schools having opened in the past few decades, and to make recommendations for nurse educators in Japan.
