Thank you in advance for taking the time to complete this brief but important survey. The data obtained from this survey are crucial to AACN's efforts to inform stakeholders, legislators, and the national media about the dire situation with respect to faculty shortages.

We are asking for your help again to assess the current situation. This updated information is needed to assist our lobbying efforts on behalf of faculty development loan programs and to continue the dialogue about strategies to overcome this serious problem.

Please direct any questions to Yan Li - yli@aacn.nche.edu or Di Fang - dfang@aacn.nche.edu. Alternatively, you can reach us by telephone at 202-463-6930 (x236 for Ms. Li and x225 for Dr. Fang).
