Abstract:
As educators and administrators, we are challenged to find processes that support faculty entering educational roles whether in part-time, full-time, or tenured positions. This article focuses on guiding elements that bring about transition from the new or novice nurse instructor to the faculty role. Supporting elements for transition include mentoring, pedagogical instruction, and continued knowledge acquisition. Without formal role preparation, many nurse faculty experience conflict and ongoing deficits in the knowledge that is needed to be successful in an academic setting.
