1KTH Consulting, Guilford, CT 06437, USA. drkth@att.net
Abstract:
This article opens with an exemplar of Wendy, a nurse educator, whose exuberance is drained by conflicted relationships with faculty colleagues. Corroborating Wendy's story are 10 joy-stealing faculty games that surfaced from the spontaneous writings of 261 nurse educators attending the National League for Nursing's 2005 Summit. Educational research that describes the sociopolitical context and the psychoemotional fallout from such games elucidates why turning nurse educators into passionate scholars may stop the gaming.
