2024-2025 Education and Career Guide
Each year, American Nurse Journal curates a range of content relevant to nursing careers and education. And this year is no different. You’ll find an article about the nurse faculty shortage with suggestions for addressing it, another on the role of shared governance in training and supporting nurse leaders, and another how mentorship—when implemented appropriately—can engage and motivate nurses of all races and ethnicities. Other topics featured in this year’s Education and Career Guide include home health nursing, leadership pitfalls, and U.S. Navy nursing.
