The SREB Council on Collegiate Education for Nursing helps expand and strengthen schools of nursing at colleges and universities to reduce the critical shortage of nurse educators needed to train the nation’s registered nurses.

Nearly 40,000 job openings for RNs are projected every year through 2014 in SREB states and the District of Columbia. By some estimates, the shortage could grow to more than 1 million nurses nationwide by 2020.

SREB is helping to meet this demand. During 2010-13, the Council is focusing on four areas:

The Council works to strengthen college-based nursing programs at all levels — associate's, bachelor's, master's and doctoral — that prepare registered nurses for entry-level and advanced practice positions in the 16 SREB states and the District of Columbia.

Building on more than five decades of collaboration with nursing leaders to promote cooperative regional planning, the Council is a proactive force for inspiring excellence in nursing education throughout the region.

The Council on Collegiate Education for Nursing is the only regional organization for nurse educators in the nation affiliated with an interstate compact for education (SREB).

For more information, see the Council 2010-2013 Strategic Plan.

The 2011 recipient of the Mary Elizabeth Carnegie Award, given to a nurse educator who best exemplifies Carnegie’s quest for excellence in nursing education, is Dee Baldwin, Ph.D., FAAN, associate dean and director, School of Nursing, at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.
