AACN releases annual survey results

The American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) relesed data from their annual survey which shows that enrollment in entry-level baccalaureate nursing programs increased by 13% from 2004 to 2005. Though this increase is welcome, their survey showed that 32,617 qualified applications were denied due to a shortage of nurse educators.

As I've said in previous posts on my site, the reason for the nursing shortage is the lack of nursing instructor pay. I know several nurses who would love to teach but can't afford to take the cut in pay to do so.. Thanks for the link to my blog! Your link to come...
