Master of Science [M.S] [Nursing - Education] From Ramapo College of New Jersey

According to AACN?s report on2014-2015 Enrollment and Graduations in Baccalaureate and Graduate Programs in Nursing, U.S. nursing schools turned away 68,938 qualified applicants from baccalaureate and graduate nursing programs in 2014 due to an insufficient number of faculty, clinical sites, classroom space, clinical preceptors, and budget constraints. Almost two-thirds of the nursing schools responding to the survey pointed to faculty shortages as a reason for not accepting all qualified applicants into baccalaureate programs. ?The demand is higher than ever for Nurse Educators, especially in the Metro NJ/NY region.
