The repercussions of faculty shortages are extensive and concerning:
Limited Enrollment: Due to insufficient faculty, nursing programs often have to restrict the number of students they can accept, exacerbating the overall nursing shortage. Quality of Education: With fewer faculty members, the student-to-teacher ratio increases, potentially compromising the quality of education and one-on-one mentorship opportunities. Delayed Graduation: The shortage can lead to extended waiting times for program entry or completion, delaying the entry of new nurses into the workforce.
