WCN workshop aims to support better representation among future nurse educators and address nurse faculty shortages.
To graduate the number of nurses needed to meet the demand, Washington state needs more nurse faculty.
In a story originally published in the Winter 2021 issue of The Washington Nurse magazine, Sofia Aragon, JD, BSN, RN, Executive Director, Washington Center for Nursing, examined how WCN is working to support better representation among future nurse educators and address nurse faculty shortages.
To increase interest in nursing education as a career, particularly among underrepresented students and practicing nurses, WCN created the “So You Want to be a Professor” workshop.
In 2019, WCN piloted its first three-day “So You Want to be a Professor” workshop. In 2020, with grant support from Premera Foundation, WCN offered the workshop again as a Zoom video conference.
