A Kent State University assistant professor hopes that online courses and part-time educators can help ease the nursing shortage. There are more students who want to be nurses than there are enough qualified nursing instructors to teach them. A Kent State University nursing professor has a plan to help fix that. Susan Taft, an associate professor at KSU’s College of Nursing, says there is a large, untapped pool of nurses with master’s degrees who would like to teach, but don’t for various reasons: they want to be at home with their young children, they are disabled, or they live too far away from a school.
