Conference studies shortage of nursing teachers

I'd have a better opinion of the chances of something changing if, instead of going to Portland, the conference was held by tele/videoconference.

Besides the cost of travel/lodging, there's the loss of productive time spent in airports, planes, etc.

The solution to the problem of finding instructors is simple: offer better pay. To fund that solution, fire some of the ever-growing numbers of administrative people at colleges/universities. The admin:student ratio at US colleges has exploded in recent decades.
