From the Paper:

"The field of nursing currently faces an impending crisis, where in 2020 the demand for nurses will exceed the supply. While efforts are being made to compensate for this shortage in nursing, the field of nursing education has not received the same focus. It is likely that the field of nursing education will suffer from the nursing shortage, and that this will in turn reduce the quality of training provided to students entering nursing education when teachers with appropriate credentials, training, and experience are not engaged in the classroom."
