This episode of NLN Nursing EDge Unscripted features guest Shellye Vardaman. Dr. Vardaman shares insights from her study on the shortage of academic nurse educators and emphasizes the need for higher recognition of nurse educators as advanced practice nurses, as well as the importance of competitive salaries, mentorship, and pedagogical training. The conversation highlights challenges like the lack of formal training for new faculty and the barriers to attracting qualified educators, such as the salary gap between academic and clinical nursing roles. Dr. Vardaman also discusses the work of the National Consortium of Academic Nurse Educators in advocating for the profession, including their efforts to promote certifications and policy changes.
