Faculty |
Survey respondents were asked to provide the number of full-time faculty positions, the number
of full-time faculty vacancies, the number of adjunct faculty positions, and the number of adjunct
faculty vacancies. The responses can be seen below in Table 8. Based on the data provided, the
overall vacancy rate for full-time faculty positions in nursing education programs is 15 percent;
the vacancy rate for adjunct faculty positions is 0 percent. Data continues to suggest a higher
percentage of unfilled full-time faculty positions compared to adjunct faculty positions. |
