Abstract
An observational study was conducted from March to April 2007and data was collected from all nursing schools in the country as well as from other external sources to assess the needs of nursing faculty in Pakistan. There were a total of 14 nursing degree programs in Pakistan with 97 faculty members and an annual enrolment of 711 students. Over the next five years, the annual student enrollment is expected to rise to 1,200. To meet these needs, an additional 291 nursing faculty will be required, including 20 Professors/ Associate Professors with PhD and 250 Assistant Professors with MScN degrees. A five year program has been developed for the training of the nursing faculty at an estimated cost of 1512.25 million Pakistani rupees. In order to promote nursing higher education in the country, comprehensive efforts are needed to implement a comprehensive faculty development program.
