AbstractThe study purpose was to evaluate and strengthen this program’s nursing education curriculum to better prepare and develop future nurse faculty. As the dire nursing faculty shortage increases, the transition of expert nurse clinician to novice educator is receiving more attention. In order to prepare, recruit, and retain the nursing faculty needed to meet the growing nurse shortage, understanding what nurse educators need in order to be successful is essential. Fourteen participants from four focus groups of nurse educators shared stories about their role transition. Two administrators were interviewed to determine what they identified as crucial in hiring new nurse educators. Interpretive analysis focused on identification of themes and possible paradigm cases. Themes that emerged included: a) culture of academia surprises, b) exciting “Aha!” moments, and c) Safety with a capital “S”. These findings were used to strategically revise the entire nurse educator curriculum.

Doctor Of Education

AbstractThe nursing faculty shortage is directly related to the ongoing shortage of nurses. As a result of many nursing faculty retiring, the discipline of nursing is losing its most experienced educators. The need is great for programs that will increase access and prepare nurse educators. Doctorate degrees for nurses have evolved in myriad ways. Discussions over the nature of doctoral education for the preparation of nurse educators are at the forefront of debates in nursing education. In response to National League for Nursing (2007; Core competencies of nurse educators, http://www.nln.org/profdev/corecompletter.htm) and Institute of Medicine (2010; The future of nursing: Leading change, advancing health. Washington, DC: National Academies Press, http://thefutureofnursing.org/IOM-Report) calls to increase the number of nursing faculty, the colleges of nursing and education at a major university have combined to establish a collaborative doctoral program. This article describes the historical evolution of the nursing doctorate degrees and the development and implementation of the EdD in Instructional Leadership for Nurse Educators.

Objective: Around the world nursing education institutions have been calling for mentorship; however, little is known about nursing faculty member’s perspective on if and why mentorship is important and at what career stages it is most valuable. The purpose of this study is to describe the nursing faculty member’s perspectives on mentorship in Canadian schools of nursing and explore if, why, and when mentorship is perceived to be needed.Methods: A qualitative thematic analysis study was conducted. Participants were purposively samples from the 81 English-speaking schools to capture variation across rank, tenure, school size, and areas within Canada. Semi-structured telephone interviews were conducted with 48 nursing faculty members from across Canada. Interview data was thematically analyzed.Results: Mentorship was identified as being essential yet widely absent from academic nursing. Participants viewed mentorship as a professional responsibility, and vital in consideration of the nursing faculty shortage and potential impact on students. There was an expressed need for mentorship during transition, advancement, collaboration, and as a means of way finding essential resources.Conclusions: Identifying nursing faculty member’s perspectives on mentorship is an important first step in developing mentorship in academic nursing. Nursing faculty views should be considered in the development, execution, and evaluation of mentorship programs.

Advanced practice is the conceptual focus for the first Master’s of Science in Nursing (MScN) program in Pakistan. Initiated at the Aga Khan University School of Nursing (AKUSON) in October 2001, this full time two-year program aims to prepare nurses who are leaders in nursing practice with advanced knowledge and skills for their roles in either urban, rural, tertiary-care or community settings. The significance of the progress must be emphasized in a country where most nursing education takes place at diploma level and relatively few opportunities exist for nurses seeking a baccalaureate degree. Other countries developing graduate nursing programs may benefit from the expereince in Pakistan.

Providing ethically competent care requires nurses to reflect not only on nursing ethics, but also on their own ethical traditions. New challenges for nurse educators over the last decade have been the increasing globalization of the nursing workforce and the internationalization of nursing education. In New Zealand, there has been a large increase in numbers of Chinese students, both international and immigrant, already acculturated with ethical and cultural values derived from Chinese Confucian moral traditions. Recently, several incidents involving Chinese nursing students in morally conflicting situations have led to one nursing faculty reflecting upon how moral philosophy is taught to non-European students and the support given to Chinese students in integrating the taught curriculum into real-life clinical practice settings. This article uses a case study involving a Chinese student to reflect on the challenges for both faculty members and students when encountering situations that present ethical dilemmas.
