Abstract:
Mid-career nurse scientists in academia are at risk for burnout and departing scientific careers, particularly those in research-intensive academic settings. With the shortage of nursing faculty and the public health need for high-quality nursing research, it is critical to retain current research-focused individuals in nursing. In this paper, we discuss definitions and expectations of mid-career scientists, challenges and barriers faced by mid-career scientists, and opportunities for mid-career scientists, informed by both nursing and non-nursing literature. Finally, we focus on definitions and expectations, challenges, and opportunities specifically related to mid-career nurse scientists in research-intensive academic settings.
