Policy Recommendations to Address the Nurse Educator Shortage: Nominal Group Technique Findings.
Background: There is a critical shortage of academic nurse educators (ANEs) in the United States. Using the nominal group technique, this qualitative study aims to comprehend the challenges ANEs face and provides a call to action for policy changes, addressing the persistent shortage.
Method: A convenience sample of volunteers was recruited through an inquiry posted on a national professional nursing education organization's community discussion forum. Participants were informed of the workgroup's objective to formulate a systematic strategy to alleviate the ANE shortage.
Results: Actionable strategies identified include increased funding, facilitation of ANE preparation, promotion of academic-practice partnerships, establishing a national center for nursing education, and elevation of the ANE role.
Conclusion: Neglecting these measures will perpetuate the shortage of ANEs, affecting the availability of practicing nurses and consequently affecting the health and well-being of the population. [J Nurs Educ. 2025;64(7):415-422.].
