Hello,

I am an RN working on my graduate thesis which has to deal with the shortage of nursing school faculty in the state of CA. I would like to get as many RNs as possible to respond to a general survey that I am conducting regarding nursing education as a potential area of interest. I am attaching the questions, and if interested, please respond to the 10 questions.

Just a few questions for you... Is this survey an actual instrument that you are using in your research study? If so, has your IRB approved its use as an Internet survey for your study? You do not mention anything about informed consent either - Does your IRB require any type of informed consent prior to implementing the survey? I realize that the potential for harm r/t your survey is minimal, but be sure that you follow the proper procedures in your research process...

Hello,

Thank you for your response. Yes, I have IRB approval for internet surveys as one form of data collection. In addition, I am conducting interviews, which do require informed consent and those agreeing to the interview can choose to either participate or not.

Thank you for your concerns though. I appreciate all of the feedback, especially knowing how easy it is to forget things or do things incorrectly, regardless of good intentions.

Thank you for participating!

Good luck to you!

Are you looking at reasons why there is a faculty shortage? How much does money factor into that? (just curious...)
