The NPO has recently been awarded a grant from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation to conduct a national study of nurse faculty. The project will survey approximately 6,000 nurse faculty members employed at 300 randomly selected nursing education programs representative of the population by program type (BSN and ADN) and region of the country. The aims of the study are to provide benchmark measures for assessing interventions supported by EIN, provide a yardstick for nursing programs around the country to compare their faculty to those at similar institutions in their region, and yield a baseline snapshot for guiding and assessing the progress of national efforts to improve the work-life and retention of nurse faculty.
