When demand for nurses is at its highest level, nursing schools across the country are turning down applicants to their baccalaureate and master’s degree programs. They simply don’t have the faculty to teach them.

“We aren’t seeing nurses in their late 20s and early 30s applying for faculty positions,” said Susan Gunby, dean of the Georgia Baptist College of Nursing at Mercer University in Atlanta. “Our applicants are in their 40s, 50s and 60s, and while we’re glad to see them entering teaching, we have to have some younger people in the pipeline.”

Besides classroom teaching, nursing instructors must stand up to demanding 12-hour shifts when supervising students during clinical rotations.

Mercer plans to address a key factor in the nursing shortage by educating more nursing instructors. The school has established a new Ph.D. program in nursing education and will enroll its first eight students this fall. » Read more after the jump →

The News of the World has launched a new journalism scholarship to commemorate former executive editor of the paper Bob Warren, who died earlier this month.

Warren spent un unparalleled 45 years with the News of the World and died after a short illness, while still at the paper, aged 73.

Editor Colin Myler said: “Many senior executives owe their careers to the start Bob gave them. It is absolutely fitting that our scholarship carries his name.

“Journalists who pass through our training scheme should know that they are custodians of a great tradition of excellence in reporting and story-getting, and Bob helped forge that tradition for almost half a century.

“We will make sure each new generation respects the values that made Bob so special.’’

The Robert Warren Scholarship is a two-year graduate course in which successful applicants are sent to a formal training college for five months to work for their diploma in journalism, before completing their training in-house at the News of the World.

As a language of scholarship, German is “on its deathbed,” with most academics speaking at conferences and publishing their research in English, the German Culture Council warned Tuesday.

The days when the scholars of the world learned German so they could read the latest findings in science, engineering and the arts are long gone. In science today, only 1 percent of the papers published are in German, the council said. Many German academics prefer to publish in English.

The council said that foreign guest professors coming to Germany to teach or to join research institutes were also “under the impression they do not need to learn German, because English will do.” The council secretary, Olaf Zimmermann, called for more funding of the arts, where German was still a significant language. /chinapost

For military parents who have children about to enter college or already attending, the opportunity to apply for a $1,500 scholarship through the Defense Commissary Agency’s Scholarships for Military Children Program is ending Feb. 18.

Applications are available in commissaries worldwide. You may also fill out an application online at the Military Scholar Web site, http://www.militaryscholar.org, but the Web site does not have a “submit” button, so you must print a copy and drop it off at a commissary. You may also fill the application out by hand. At least one scholarship will be awarded at every commissary location with qualified applicants.

Since the scholarship program kicked off in 2001, it has distributed more than $6.4 million dollars in scholarships to more than 4,000 of the best and brightest children of military families.

“Education today is very expensive,” said Andrew Knaub, a 2003 scholarship recipient from Scott Air Force Base, Ill., “so every dime you get in scholarship money is that much less you’ll have to pay back in college loans after you graduate.” Mr. Knaub put his $1,500 toward tuition at Penn State, earning a bachelor’s degree in finance while specializing in international business.
