When a state or local government, a university, a water district, a private company, comes to us, we get a sense of what jobs are really hard to fill. The ones that are really vexing them. The ones where the shortage is most acute, and impacts their organization the most.
At the top of the list: Nursing instructor.
That’s a pain point for our healthcare customers more than any other job is a struggle to fill for our other customers.
One reason is the double needs requirement: A nursing instructor typically must have both a master’s in nursing as well as practical experience.
Fewer instructors means fewer nurses.
The American Association of Colleges of Nursing says that nursing schools turn away about 65,000 qualified applications from baccalaureate and graduate nursing programs each year and that “most nursing schools pointed to faculty shortages as a top reason for not accepting all qualified applicants into their programs.”It’s hard to attract teachers when they can make more in a different private-sector job. And with many nursing instructors in their fifties and sixties, this challenge is likely to continue.
This is an area where our customers have the greatest need and we have expertise. If you are in healthcare, let us know if we can share with you what’s working for our customers that are filling the instructor void.
