Getting off to a good start: faculty development in professional programs.

Abstract

Developing and retaining faculty in professional programs presents some unique challenges. This article describes an approach to faculty development designed to meet the needs of new faculty members in nursing and other professional programs. The basic premise is that a reflective approach to teaching and scholarship serves the twin goal of promoting development and helping the faculty member prepare for various reviews. Recommendations for developing a philosophy of teaching and a scholarship plan are presented.

Hospitals' responses to nurse staffing shortages.

Hospitals have used a mix of short-term and long-term strategies to deal with nurse shortages, particularly efforts emphasizing nurse education, competitive compensation, and temporary staff. Interviews with health care leaders from Round Five of the Community Tracking Study indicate that these activities, in conjunction with other factors, have assisted in reducing shortages of hospital nurses. However, hospitals' actions have increased costs and raised concerns about their potential impact on patient care. Additionally, a large degree of doubt exists among hospitals about their ability to meet future nursing needs.
