Successes and challenges of a distant faculty model

1School of Nursing, Duquesne University, Pittsburgh, PA.
Purpose:
The planning, implementation, and evaluation of a 2-year pilot project for a distant faculty model is presented through the reflections of the distant faculty member and other stakeholders. A school of nursing with a 15-year history of offering distance education graduate programs served as the setting for this project.
Conclusions:
Overall, the distant faculty model was successful. It is anticipated that new opportunities to explore the distant faculty role will exist as the university expands its current online campus initiatives.
Implications:
This distant faculty model can be adopted by other schools of nursing interested in employing faculty at a distance and provides an opportunity to manage faculty shortage.
