Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify graduate and undergraduate nursing courses in health and health consultation in childcare and early education, and faculty awareness and interest in federal resources.
Design And Methods: A questionnaire was sent electronically to 140 faculty in 45 schools of nursing.
Results: Fifty-nine faculty from 45 schools (42%) participated, and 80% reported at least one course related to childcare health and safety. Most faculty were not aware of federal initiatives to support childcare health and safety, and the role of nurse childcare health consultants; however, many were interested in receiving instructional materials.
Practice Implications: Utilizing federal resources to augment nursing education in childcare health and safety curriculum may strengthen the workforce of nurses providing health consultation to early childhood programs.
