Using Learning Outcome Measures to assess Doctoral Nursing Education
Published on: June 21, 2010
Background:
The faculty nursing shortage has been cited as a reason that qualified students are not admitted to nursing programs. Programs fill the faculty gap by relying on qualified, part-time faculty to teach clinical rotations. The purpose of this article was to review the evidence of what is needed for part-time clinical faculty as they assume the faculty role.
Method:
Using a systematic approach, 19 articles were included in this integrated review.
Results:
Themes identified included Mandatory/Structured Orientation, Mentoring, Support, and Communication/Connection. Issues of Pay and Compensation and the Transient Nature of Year-to-Year Contract Work were also themes found in this review.
Conclusion:
Clinical education is imperative to developing safe, competent new nurses. Identifying the needs of part-time clinical faculty hired to reduce the impact of the faculty shortage is needed for continued program stability and ensuring continuity of the nursing faculty workforce.
