Aim:
The aim of the study was to determine the intent of baccalaureate nursing students to pursue a future nursing faculty role.
Background:
An impending nursing faculty shortage negatively affects the capacity to meet the need for nurses.
Method:
Using the constructs of social cognitive career theory, a prospective correlational research design was used to survey prelicensure BSN nursing students regarding their intent for a future nursing faculty role.
Results:
Twenty-five percent of the students intend to pursue a future faculty role. The six statistically significant predictors for a future faculty role were type of nursing program (OR = 2.0), interest in the activities of a faculty role (OR = 2.3), outcome expectations-advantages (OR = 1.9), previous teaching experiences (OR = 1.7), encouragement (OR = 1.5), and outcome expectations-disadvantages (OR = 0.8).
Conclusion:
Providing students with knowledge of the faculty role, teaching experiences, and encouragement may inspire them to pursue a future faculty role.
