Navigating Resource Challenges in Nursing Education: Perspectives from a Dean of a Nursing Program
Tags: crisis healthcare system Nurse Education nurse shortage nursing students training
By investing in nursing faculty, colleges and universities can increase the number of well-trained nurses entering the workforce, thus helping to address this critical shortage. However, it is a common sentiment among nursing faculty at colleges and universities that their counterparts in other disciplines may not fully appreciate the rationale behind the seemingly greater need for resources, including financial compensation, within nursing education. As a Dean of a Nursing Program, I share this frustration and exhaustion stemming from the continual effort required to justify why nursing faculty necessitate higher salaries and greater resource allocation compared to many other departments within the institution. Overall, the multifaceted nature of nursing education more often contributes to a higher workload for nursing faculty compared to their counterparts in other academic disciplines. Nursing education is multifaceted, a fact that many other disciplines do not fully understand.

Promoting Respect and an Environment of Civility in the Classroom
Tags: behavior education emotional intelligence learning Nurse Education nursing faculty nursing students respect respectful behavior teaching
Educators today can attest to the lack of student respect shown in their classes. A lack of respect is a form of incivility. Since returning to in-person learning, respect has taken a nosedive. In fact, most of us have witnessed an increase of incivility in all walks of life. The question is, what to do about it? At a community college in upstate NY, the School of Nursing, Health & Wellness also noted a lack of respect displayed among students. The lack of respect was an issue the school felt strongly needed to be addressed. This prompted the creation of a Respect Committee with representatives from the Nursing Program, the Occupational Therapy Assistant Program and the Exercise and Human Performance Program to address the issue of student disrespect. To address the issue, the committee sent out a brief confidential survey to faculty and staff to investigate the prevalence of student disrespect, the facultys’ comfort with addressing student disrespect and established strategies for faculty to help guide them to promote a respectful environment for both teaching and learning.
