| Popis: | The financial status of nursing schools and colleges in the United States is discussed. A survey questionnaire was sent to the 406 deans on the National League for Nursing's 1982–83 Baccalaureate and Higher Degree List. A 61 per cent return rate was achieved, with 51.7 per cent of the responses usable. The author examines budgetary factors and a number of related features, including sources and amounts of funding, how the funding is acquired, and how funds are spent as well as what the future may hold for nursing education budgets. He reports that a significant portion of the schools' budgets are provided by state funds, that there are few fiscal differences among various regions of the country, that public institutions tend to have higher budgets than private ones, and that the large majority of schools survive on budgets of less than $1,000,000. He concludes that budgeting for colleges and schools of nursing is much more difficult currently than it has been in the recent past, but that nursing school deans appear to be managing their restricted budgets capably to keep their programs viable and competitive. |
