Journal Title: International Journal for Innovation Education and Research - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
As the nursing shortage continues to increase, there is a need for qualified nursing faculty. The development of the Doctorate of Nursing Practice, a terminal degree with a focus on clinical practice, has the potential to bridge the gap of nursing faculty. Nurse practitioners are transition into education. Nurse practitioners are experts in various practice areas but novice nursing faculty. Mentoring of new faculty by seasoned faculty is a way to grow excellent nursing faculty and increase retention of employees. Many resources exist to make this transition smooth.
