We thought you might want to share with your Nursing students and faculty the January 2020 Nursing-related Gallup survey results.  All of us at AcademicCareers.com  salute you and your colleagues for encouraging, supporting, and educating young minds through your work as Nursing educators. During a time when Americans’ confidence in many U.S. institutions has declined, the public’s trust in nurses remains unmatched. For the 18th year in a row, the public rated nursing as the most honest and ethical profession in America, with an 85 percent rating of high/very high, according to a recently released Gallup survey. Nurses have claimed the top spot since 1999, the first year they were included in the survey, with the exception of 2001, when firefighters were voted No. 1 in the wake of the 9/11 terrorist attacks.  The Gallup survey  paints a positive picture of how nurses are perceived compared to other professions. For example, the public gave a 66 percent rating for Engineers, 65 percent for Medical doctors, 64 percent for Pharmacists and on the down side, a 12 percent rating for Members of Congress, among many professions represented in the survey.  As written elsewhere, these numbers are important because they contextualize and complement findings that show that patients benefit when nurses are leading and working to the full scope of their education. A 2014 study funded by the National Institutes of Health found that patients with heart disease were almost 50 percent more likely to receive optimal care when their care was coordinated by teams led by nurses. Nurse-led teams not only ensured that patients received all recommended care in the hospital, but also identified helpful community resources and served as a liaison with families and care providers after patients were discharged from the hospital.   To all nurses, nursing students, and those working as nursing educators...from all of us at Academic Careers, congratulations and thank you !   To share this information on your website or Facebook page or Instagram with your nursing students, colleagues, doctoral candidates, instructors, and professors: https://academiccareers.com/job/7286/nurses-continue-to-rate-highest-in-honesty-ethics-to-share-with-your-nursing-students-colleagues-and-faculty/

Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center With a growing shortage of physicians in West Texas, the 61st state legislature authorized the Texas Tech University School of Medicine in 1969. The school charter was expanded a decade later to the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center, and the institution began preparing future healthcare professionals in multiple disciplines. TTUHSC offers undergraduate, graduate, and professional academic programs in five schools: (1) Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences, (2) School of Health Professions, (3) School of Medicine, (4) School of Nursing, and (5) School of Pharmacy. TTUHSC also has multiple campuses across Texas, as well as a significant population of distance learners. With overall student enrollment for fall 2019 at 5,294, TTUHSC is home to 1,285 full-time faculty and 3,158 full-time staff supported by a budget of approximately $760 million.
