			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The importance of <a href="http://www.online-degrees-today.com/Early_Childhood_Education_Degree.shtml" target="_blank">early childhood development</a> has been at the forefront of debate over the last decade.  Schools today look for nursery school teachers to have at least some formal training in <a href="http://www.online-degrees-today.com/education-degrees/online-education-degree.shtml" target="_blank">early childhood education</a> if not a <a href="http://www.online-degrees-today.com/bachelor-degrees/online-bachelor-degree.shtml" target="_blank">bachelor&#8217;s degree</a>.</p>
<p><em>So, do you need a <a href="http://www.slate.com/id/2151416/" target="_blank">degree to teach preschool</a>? Study after study shows that 3- and 4-year-olds are better served by more-educated teachers in myriad ways. As you might expect, these teachers tend to offer superior curricula and formal teaching. But they&#8217;re also, on average, &#8220;more stimulating, warm, and supportive&#8221; and &#8220;provide more age-appropriate experiences.&#8221; That finding is from a 2004 overview of the relevant research by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, and it represents the consensus view. The experts disagree over how much college coursework preschool teachers should haveâ€”a two-year associate degree vs. a four-year baccalaureate. The more vexing question is how to take what is now an underpaid, low-skilled workforce and magically restock it with college-educated professionals.</em></p>
<p>Unfortunately, the salaries of daycare providers and nursery school teachers are traditionally so low, that they fail to attract qualified personnel.  Hopefully salaries will one day reflect the importance of these workers, and draw more qualified people to care for our children.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A lack of qualified nursing teachers is causing concern for the future of nursing programs.  This shortage of nursing teachers is making entry in to nursing programs more difficult for students.</p>
<p><em><a target="_blank" href="http://www.online-degrees-today.com/nursing-degrees/online-nursing-degree.shtml">Nursing programs</a> at the state&#8217;s colleges and universities turned away 2,357 acceptable applications last year, partly because of inadequate faculty, according to the report by the Maryland Board of Nursing and the Maryland Higher Education Commission.</em></p>
<p><em>Nurse educators need a master&#8217;s degree to teach nursing at the state&#8217;s many community colleges. According to the <a target="_blank" href="http://www.wtopnews.com/?nid=25&#038;pid=0&#038;sid=928223&#038;page=1">American Association of Colleges of Nursing</a>, the preferred degree for faculty at a four-year college is a Doctor of Science in Nursing or a Nursing Ph.D.</em></p>
<p><em>In the last five years, enrollments in baccalaureate and <a target="_blank" href="http://www.online-degrees-today.com/associate-degrees/online-associate-degree.shtml">associate nursing degree programs</a> have risen 38 percent and 55 percent respectively, but there has been a decline in master&#8217;s and doctoral nursing program enrollments, said Judy Hendrickson, director of career and workforce education for the Higher Education Commission.</em></p>
<p>This shortage in nursing faculty looks to be a long-term problem. Not only do registered nurses make more money than nursing faculty, but also programs specifically geared towards nursing education are limited.  Many experts suggest that higher faculty salaries and retention bonuses may help attract more nursing education staff.</p>
