A leading advocate for nursing education for more than 40 years, the SREB Council on Collegiate Education for Nursing helps expand and strengthen schools of nursing at colleges and universities through projects, conferences and an initiative for online learning.

During 2009-2010, the Council is focusing on four areas:
  • the SREB Nurse Educator Consortium, a collaborative that helps prepare nurse educators through Web-based courses
  • the annual survey of nursing education programs to document important trends affecting nursing education
  • the Council Annual Meeting, held each fall , and
  • leadership development to prepare aspiring nurse educators for leadership roles in academic and practice settings.

Through these and other activities, the Council is working to reduce the critical shortage of nurse educators to train the many registered nurses who are needed by the nation and region. SREB states and the District of Columbia are projected to have nearly 40,000 job openings for RNs every year through 2014. By some estimates, the shortage could grow to more than one million nurses nationwide by 2020. The Council is helping to meet this demand.
