The nurses on my unit were discussing the current nursing world issues and one that came up was the shortage of nurses. I know a lot of that has to do with limited number of spots in nursing schools due to limited number of nursing faculty.
We are wondering what the average pay is for a clinical instructor for nursing students is (the ones who are at the hospital watching over the students) and a didactic instructor (the ones who teach the courses in nursing school) just to understand why things are the way they are right now.
As a previous didaction instructor, now a clinical instructor, I make the same amount. However, going from practicing RN in a hospital to teaching, I took a $20,000/year cut to teach. I think that is outrageous.
