In the March 2022 issue of Academic Medicine, AACN staff members Dr. Cynthia Leaver and Dr. Joan Stanley joined with Dr. Tener Goodwin Veenema from Johns Hopkins University to address the Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on the Future of Nursing Education. The article describes how schools of nursing overcame pandemic-related challenges by redesigning nursing curricula and clinical experiences, strengthening academic-practice partnerships, and addressing community needs. The authors also detail how many gaps in nursing education uncovered by the pandemic, particularly those related to disaster and public health preparedness, health equity, and technology, have been incorporated into the new AACN Essentials.
On March 17, 2022, staff writer Sophie Quinton with Stateline, a publication of The Pew Charitable Trusts, published a new article titled As Nurses Quit, States Seek to Train More. Legislators in several states—including Indiana, Kentucky, New Mexico, and Washington—are taking action to amend regulations and provide new support to help nursing schools expand student capacity and meet the demand for nurses in the workforce. |

Featured Resource
AACN's Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Faculty Tool Kit
|
AACN is a resolute leader for advancing diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) within nursing. To help faculty identify effective strategies for advancing DEI, we developed the Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Tool Kit.
This resource is designed to:
- Align the dimensions of the Inclusive Excellence Ecosystem for Academic Nursing. This ecosystem will assist nursing schools with organizing and guiding DEI efforts.
- Inform nursing schools of promising practices and strategies for promoting DEI and fostering inclusive excellence.
- Assist faculty in creating welcoming academic environments that embrace diverse life experiences, perspectives, and backgrounds.
- Serve as a catalyst for reflection and assessment of current pedagogy, teaching methods, and curricular strategies for inclusive teaching and learning environments.
