Expanding The Capacity Of Nursing Education

Brenda L. Cleary, Angela Barron McBride, Margaret L. McClure and Susan C. Reinhard

Assuring a nurse workforce that is large enough and possesses the right competencies for the changing demographic and health reform scenarios of the early twenty-first century is nothing short of an imperative. Getting there will involve continual recruitment of a talented and diverse group of people and increasing nurses’ progression to a more highly educated workforce, no matter where they enter the profession. These actions will enable the United States to fill vacant nursing faculty positions as we simultaneously recreate how nursing education is delivered in this country. The nation’s health is dependent on the actions we now take.
