Teaching in Nursing Education - Assignment Example

 Healthcare recently has become inextricably intertwined with business hence hospitals are run on strict budgets to maximize profits in most cases. This has hampered “staff development. managers are eager to get nurses into staffing; some are reluctant to send them to classes they should have before they start working.” This has curtailed the educational development of nurses leading to a shortage of specialized nurses (who would be preceptors) as hospitals are less willing to invest in the education of nurses (National League of Nursing, 2011).

Response to GlendaNursing is more than a course taught at a college or university, it is a practical subject that has to facilitate hands-on learning using hospitals. “The increase in numbers of students entering nursing programs there has become an increased competition for acute care clinical sites” and this has limited time for practice. This problem can be addressed by requiring that each nursing teaching facility build a teaching hospital before it is certified by the state education agencies (National League for Nursing, 2005).
