Recognizing the emerging shortage of nursing faculty and the adverse implications of this shortage on the production of nurses for North Dakota, the objective of this Dakota Medical Foundation funded project is to increase the number of nursing faculty in the eastern part of the state. The three steps of the nursing faculty pipeline include: 1) facilitate further development of structure and content of educational opportunities for faculty, 2) attract more prospective nurse faculty into targeted educational programs, and 3) increase retention of current and new nursing faculty.
