This book was released on 2014 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this study was to explore the formal mentoring experiences of junior nursing faculty. The nursing faculty were located in associate degree nursing programs in community colleges in the Southeast. Three broad research questions were developed to guide the study: (1) What are the lived experiences of junior faculty with formal mentoring? (2) What is the nature of the interactions that take place between mentor and mentee? (3) What meanings do the mentees assign to these interactions? A qualitative research design was used to conduct the study. The participants offered a depiction of the lived experience of the formal mentoring experiences of junior nursing faculty. The results of the data analyses indicated the nurse educators encountered struggles as they acclimated into the nurse educator role. The formal mentoring that was provided for the mentees fostered within them a sense of belonging that resulted in job satisfaction and a desire to remain in nursing education. The mentees trusted that their mentors provided the best mentoring and learning experiences for them as the mentors sat in the classroom and observed them, provided guidance with instructional development, and assisted with test construction. All of these mentor actions helped the new faculty members grow as educators. Understanding the mentoring experiences of novice nurse educators is important to nursing education. Nursing faculty members leave education for a myriad of reasons including salary, stress, unclear role expectations, and job satisfaction. Job satisfaction greatly influences a faculty member's decision to remain in nursing education. The retention of qualified nurse educators is crucial to overcoming the nursing faculty shortage, and a means to address this problem is the mentoring of new educators. The study findings affirmed the positive nature of formal mentoring when examining the experiences of junior nurse educators.

Download or read book Importance of and Satisfaction with Characteristics of Mentoring Among Nursing Faculty written by Jacklyn D. Gentry and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The nursing faculty shortage and its contributing factors have been well documented in the literature. Contributory factors include lack of graduate prepared faculty, difficulty recruiting and retaining faculty, and a decrease in job satisfaction within the faculty role. The use of mentoring programs has the potential to impact the nursing faculty shortage by increasing job satisfaction while providing novice faculty with additional support during the transition from clinical nurse to nursing faculty. The purpose of the study was to examine the relationship between the importance of and satisfaction with characteristics of mentoring in full time nursing faculty teaching in baccalaureate degree programs or higher. This study aimed to determine the degree to which nursing faculty perceive the importance of characteristics of the mentor and mentoring relationship, as well as the level of satisfaction with the mentor and mentoring relationship. Benner's theory of novice to expert was used as the theoretical framework for this cross-sectional study. Full-time nursing faculty in a Midwestern state were surveyed using convenience sampling. The survey instrument consisted of demographic data, modified Perceptions of Mentoring Relationships Survey, and satisfaction with mentoring. The results were analyzed using descriptive statistics with measures of central tendency, independent t-test, and standard deviation. The results did not demonstrate a statistically significant relationship among survey items; however, mentoring characteristics that proved to be both of high importance and high satisfaction were identified. Deeper insight into the characteristics of mentoring that are of importance and produce satisfaction is essential into the development of formal mentoring programs to make positive, lasting impacts on the nursing faculty shortage.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Future of Nursing explores how nurses' roles, responsibilities, and education should change significantly to meet the increased demand for care that will be created by health care reform and to advance improvements in America's increasingly complex health system. At more than 3 million in number, nurses make up the single largest segment of the health care work force. They also spend the greatest amount of time in delivering patient care as a profession. Nurses therefore have valuable insights and unique abilities to contribute as partners with other health care professionals in improving the quality and safety of care as envisioned in the Affordable Care Act (ACA) enacted this year. Nurses should be fully engaged with other health professionals and assume leadership roles in redesigning care in the United States. To ensure its members are well-prepared, the profession should institute residency training for nurses, increase the percentage of nurses who attain a bachelor's degree to 80 percent by 2020, and double the number who pursue doctorates. Furthermore, regulatory and institutional obstacles-including limits on nurses' scope of practice-should be removed so that the health system can reap the full benefit of nurses' training, skills, and knowledge in patient care. In this book, the Institute of Medicine makes recommendations for an action-oriented blueprint for the future of nursing.

Download or read book Nursing Faculty Perceptions about Characteristics of Mentoring Relationships written by Jeanette H. (Bjurback) Lupinacci and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This interview study examined perceptions of tenure track nursing faculty currently involved, or previously involved, as mentees in nursing departments in order to gather their reports about characteristics of their mentoring relationships, as well as the benefits and shortcomings of the mentoring they experienced. This occurred within seven baccalaureate schools of nursing in a single east coast state. The major conclusions were: 1. Mentors promote interpersonal bonding by serving as guides and resources for their mentees, which results in mentees freely dialoguing with department members. 2. Creating an environment of social support for new faculty mentees involves clearly defining expectations, inviting members to participate with mentors and other university leaders at meetings both at the university, as well as the surrounding communities. It is also important for the department of nursing to ensure that mentors are fully available to provide mentees with opportunities to listen, give advice, and provide feedback. 3. Mentors need to expose their mentees to opportunities for active participation in research, applying for grants, networking, and discussions about internal review board processes, as well as demands placed on nurse educators, as opposed to nurse clinicians. Discussion of all these topics should be incorporated into the department faculty and school of nursing meetings, which mentees should attend. 4. Departmental and school history needs to be communicated to new nursing faculty formally, rather than allowing such information to be only transmitted informally. 5. Mentors must be accessible to mentees when they first start their jobs. How responsive they are and how much time is devoted to the new mentoring relationship is very important, as is responding to mentees needs in a positive fashion by devoting time for one-to-one meetings weekly or every other week. These one-to-one interactions help to facilitate bonding between mentor and mentee.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book portrays the various ways in which mentoring occurs in higher education. Targeting the stakeholders who benefit from mentoring, namely faculty, graduate and undergraduate students, and their professional colleagues, this book supports those who are involved in the mentoring process. It synthesizes the professional literature on mentoring and shares examples of effective practices that address the needs of mentors and their protégés. The book describes mutual benefits of mentoring, along with the characteristics of effective mentors and the ways in which they may support their protégés. The relationships discussed in Mentoring Processes in Higher Education surround mentoring new faculty; peer mentoring for professional development; mentoring through research, scholarship, and teaching opportunities; and mentoring through field experiences, athletics, and student organizations. The book shares the voices of mentors and their protégés as it illustrates how mentoring relationships form the basis for reflection, a transaction of ideas, and growth in knowledge and skills to ultimately advance the institution and field through a collaborative environment in which stakeholders thrive and are valued for their contributions. The cyclical effect of positive mentoring is illuminated through real-life examples that show how protégés eventually become mentors in a continual process of support.
Download or read book Mentoring Novice Nursing Faculty written by Cynthia Apollonia Wright and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to the 2012 Bureau of Labor Statistics' Registered Nursing Workforce Projection, the shortage of registered nurses in the United States is predicted to reach 1.2 million nurses needed by the year 2020. In 2013, almost 80,000 qualified registered nurse applicants had been turned away from U.S. baccalaureate and graduate nursing programs. Nearly two-thirds of nursing schools identified faculty shortages as a major reason for not accepting qualified applicants into their programs (AACN, 2013). Mentorship has been cited as a best practice to successfully develop new nursing faculty that will improve recruitment, retention, and foster future nurse mentors (Dunham-Taylor, Lynn, Moore, McDaniel, Walker, 2008). Purpose: This qualitative pilot study will explore the meaning of positive mentoring experiences and characteristics of a positive mentor for novice nursing faculty that teach in baccalaureate nursing programs. There is a significant gap in the literature, with limited studies, found in both qualitative and quantitative research exploring the mentoring experiences and/or characteristics of a positive mentor specific for novice nursing faculty that teach in baccalaureate nursing programs (Anderson 2009, Anibas, Hanson-Brenner, Zorn, 2009, Cho, Ramanan, Feldman, 2011). This study aims to gain deeper understanding of positive mentoring experiences and characteristics of a positive mentor. Research Question 1: What are positive mentoring experiences for novice nursing faculty within the first two years of teaching in baccalaureate nursing programs? Research Question 2: What are characteristics in a positive mentor for novice nursing faculty within the first two years of teaching in baccalaureate nursing programs?

Download or read book The Effect of Mentorship on Role Strain and Intention to Leave Among Nursing Faculty written by Donnamarie Flumignan and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The nursing shortage is expected to peak in the United States in the next few years, further necessitating the need for increased capacity at the nation’s schools of nursing. However, the shortage in nurses is also reflected in nursing academia, where faculty vacancies are prevalent nationwide. This study examines the correlation between mentorship programs and the amount of role strain and intent to leave amongst novice educators. How nursing faculty describe mentoring and role strain in the various dimensions is the fundamental question of this survey. Recent studies acknowledge that the transition process into academia is fraught with uncertainty and stress and that mentorship, when provided, significantly assists novice faculty in their development and transition to their new role. Studies support that guidance from peers and strong mentoring are invaluable in assisting novice faculty in transitioning to their new role in academia. The instrument utilized was based on Mobily’s Role Strain Scale (1991); however, the instrument was modified by grouping questions by factors for ease of participants. A web-based survey generated data that indicated that more than half the study participants had the benefit of working with a mentor when a novice. Findings show the importance of a mentorship relationship as one of the primary considerations that impact the amount of role strain and intent to leave among nursing faculty, regardless of experience level. As the nursing shortage intensifies, it will be essential to retain qualified nursing faculty. Simply hiring nursing faculty without planning for their support, development, and growth will not sustain the needs of nursing schools nationwide. Mentorship programs, when utilized, can assist in this transition process, and as this study has shown, can lead to retention of faculty, by decreasing their overall stress or role strain and by decreasing their intent to leave the academic environment.

Also, it emphasizes the importance of mentoring for when nurses engaged in variety of projects that could entail or encompass evidence-based clinical practice, development within education, research in the clinical arena, policy formation, political affairs, or cultural inclusion that present significant impact in patient care and healthcare outcomes within and across countries. With The Future of Nursing 2020-2030: Charting a Path to Achieve Health Equity report from the National Academies of Sciences, published in 2021, the role of nursing will become ever more dynamic and therefore the profession of nursing must be visible in improving and securing the future for patients, families, and communities across the globe. Mentoring practices to build the profession’s leaders are forever essential, acute, and imperative. This book shows how mentoring can support nurses in further developing nursing as a profession and scientific discipline across countries to support clinical application of evidence based practice, and nursing education and research dissemination. Accordingly, this book shares essential, diverse and pioneering expertise through wide range of narrative stories that will benefit nurses at all years of experience, from early career nurses, emerging leaders, nurse educators, leaders, policy makers and nurse scientists around the globe. The nursing profession must magnify its position in health care and nurses need to proliferate their contributions throughout the globe. They can accomplish that through mentoring and “growing and nurturing other nurses” to advance and thrive in today’s world.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: " According to the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN, 2009b), the shortage of nursing faculty in baccalaureate and graduate nursing programs is worsening. Having been a faculty member teaching in a completely online Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) program for the past six years, it has become increasingly apparent that there is a lack of qualified nursing educators in general and graduate faculty in particular. Not only is it difficult to recruit nursing educators, retention of newly hired faculty is challenging. The faculty shortage is compromising the ability of colleges and universities across the United States to provide nursing education at all program levels (New Jersey Collaborating Center for Nursing [NJCCN], 2005). This in turn has a significant impact on the number of nurses that are educated to care for the increasing aged and ill population. ..." -- from Chapter 1.
Download or read book Mentorship and Novice Nursing Faculty written by Azizah Amir Sculley and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In baccalaureate nursing programs in which context based learning (CBL) is used as a teaching-learning modality, it has been observed that there is a shortage of experienced faculty both in the classrooms and in the clinical settings. This shortage has led to an increasing number of clinicians, frequently with no formal teaching preparation and with little or no teaching experience being hired into the position of faculty lecturer or sessional faculty. Such hiring practices have led to concerns about the mentoring process of these faculty members and their transition to the academic setting. Role transitioning from that of experienced clinician to novice educator is often filled with trepidation and uncertainty. Effective mentoring is pivotal to successful role transitioning of novice faculty. To date, there is an absence of research regarding this mentoring process. The purpose of this grounded theory study was to examine the process involved in mentoring novice nursing faculty in a large university in Western Canada. Data collection occurred via semi-structured interviews. In keeping with grounded theory, constant comparative analysis and theoretical sampling were used. Working Together emerged as a dynamic and interactive process that occurred during an effective mentor-mentee relationship. Fundamental to this process of Working Together which ultimately fostered successful role transitioning for the mentee were four inter-related ambient conditions that included: a) sharing; b) communicating; c) role modeling, and d) supporting. Findings from this study could serve to augment our understanding of the mentoring process and in turn contribute to the promotion of an academic milieu that is nurturing, encouraging, and supportive for novice faculty.
