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.

Book excerpt: Although there are over three million registered nurses in the United States, the national nursing shortage has reached epic proportions, with a vacancy rate of 9.9%. One of the contributing factors to the nursing shortage is the lack of qualified nursing faculty. While formal mentoring programs have been identified as best practice in supporting the expert nurse clinician in their transition into the novice nurse faculty role, these programs are not consistently implemented in schools of nursing. In this phenomenological study, the perceptions of nursing leaders regarding barriers to the implementation of formal mentoring programs were analyzed. Using a semistructured interview, six nursing school leaders were interviewed focusing on their perceptions of formal mentoring programs for novice nursing faculty. Findings of this study showed that nursing school leaders believe that mentoring programs are effective in supporting the novice nurse faculty in their role transition. Nursing leaders did, however, identify the barriers of human capacity, incentivization, and budgetary constraints to the implementation of formal mentoring programs. These barriers often outweighed the positive effects of formal mentoring programs. Nursing schools can enter academic partnerships with hospitals or secure grant funding to help support the implementation of formal mentoring programs. Additionally, working with novice mentors on how to teach someone to teach will be invaluable to the mentor dyad.

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?

This book was released on 2013 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Students who are preparing to become registered nurses are more likely to attend community colleges due to the unequal distribution of financial resources to educational systems that have evolved from the impact of globalization. The purpose of this descriptive cross-sectional study was to increase the understanding of mentoring as it relates to the perceived ability to persist among nontraditional students enrolled in associate degree nursing programs at community colleges. This investigation presented a discussion of how student involvement in a mentoring relationship and the domains of mentoring differed by student background characteristics. Additionally, the domains of mentoring and student involvement in a mentoring relationship were explored with the students' perceived ability to persist. Study participants were administered an online survey, which yielded N = 283. Descriptive and inferential statistics were performed using SPSS Version 21 statistical software. The sample characteristics resembled those compiled by the National League of Nursing (2012). Males met with a mentor more frequently per grading period than females. Differences were found between males and females on the measures for psychological/emotional support and academic support. Part-time students and students who were successful in nursing courses met more frequently with a mentor than full-time students and those who failed a nursing course. A significant relationship was found between psychological/emotional support and the existence of a role model. Most often, the person whom the study participants identified as their mentor was a family member. Researchers in nursing education have the opportunity to build a consistent definition of mentoring and a conceptual framework for traditional and nontraditional students enrolled in two- and four-year institutions through the continued exploration of mentoring and how mentoring relates to the perceived ability to persist.

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.

This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A qualitative study explored Alabama Associate Degree nurse educator confidence in teaching Evidence-Based Practice appraisal and utilization in the classroom. The purpose of this study was to explore Associate Degree nurse educators' teaching of Evidence-Based Practice, as shaped by their background, experiences, teaching strategies, confidence in understanding, and use of textbooks and resources. A purposive sample of seven participants was selected using ademographic questionnaire emailed to a database of Alabama Community College Systemcandidates. Semi-structured interviews examined how they discerned, critically appraised, and synthesized Evidence-Based Practice strategies for teaching. Factors relating to nurse educatorlevel of education, type of advanced nursing degree, or additional training, may have affectedconfidence or the desire for a better understanding of evidence-based pedagogy. The Alabama Community College System nursing curriculum provides limited guidance on Evidence-Based Practice theoretical frameworks to assist nurse educators with literacy standards (ACCS, 2016a,2016b, 2021). This study contributes to the science and art of nursing by starting a dialogue to encourage evidence-based education for Associate Degree nurse educators and programs. Potential deficits in confidence, knowledge for teaching Evidence-Based Practice, or the need for education, and guidance are identified for improved consistency and competencies in Associate Degree nursing programs.

This book was released on 2020 with total page 105 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many African-American college students face struggles that make a successful college career and retention difficult or impossible. Financial struggles, lack of preparation, racial climate on campus and nationally and absence of faculty of color plague the lives of students. Being an African-American student at a Predominately White Institution (PWI) can pose additional challenges. Many minority students report experiencing various acts of prejudice including lack of nurturing and resources to help them adjust successfully. Students also report the absence or scarcity of minorities in the faculty, curriculum and population as a barrier to connection, knowledge and support. Considering the important role that mentorship plays in the lives of African-Americans, mentorship programs are a possible avenue for support for African-American college students. The purpose of this dissertation is to better understand the experiences of these students currently enrolled in the Helping College Students Mentorship Program(HCSFS). The following questions guided my inquiry: (1) How do participants describe the impact of the program (2) How do the participants experience the program (3) What experiences have been the most/least successful (3) Would participants recommend the program to someone else, why or why not and, (4) What impact do participants feel the program has had on their endurance and persistence in college? Two focus groups of five mentees each participated in the study. Implications for this study include hearing the varied needs of African-American college students, the role of spiritual leaders, and the impact involvment in a mentoring program while a student at a PWI.
