Nurse Educators Speak Out on Addressing the Readiness Crisis
Nurse educators give their unfiltered perspectives on the barriers to nurse readiness from the faculty point of view and explore opportunities for change.

Inside the Webinar
The shortage of skilled nurses is well known, but the shortage of nurse faculty is often overlooked. McKinsey has called the missing nurse educators the "bottleneck" in nursing education. But what do nurse educators themselves think? The voices of nursing educators, those responsible for preparing the next generation of nurses, must be heard, and this groundbreaking study from UbiSim and LXD Research is amplifying their words.
In this video-based qualitative study, nurse educators give their unfiltered perspectives on the barriers to nurse readiness from the faculty point of view and explore opportunities for change.
Watch now to hear directly from nurse educators about what they want their students — and the world — to know.
The Nurse Readiness Crisis is a call to action for educators, administrators, and policymakers.

Maddie Lee Mason
,
Maddie is a data analyst at LXD Research and a doctoral candidate in Vanderbilt University’s Psychological Sciences program. Her research focuses on technology-enhanced learning and how the constraints of basic cognitive and perceptual processes influence learning in applied educational contexts, with a primary emphasis on nurse education. Her dissertation, part of a three-year collaboration with Vanderbilt’s School of Nursing, involves the development and evaluation of a guided reflection tool designed to support nursing students’ self-regulated learning following simulation-based education. As part of UbiSim’s research efforts, Maddie supported the development of their survey to better understand the perspectives of nurse educators, as well as the data analysis and report preparation.
