Abstract

Abstract: There is little research on the transition of experienced nurses from acute/clinical practice to academia. The transition into a faculty role can be overwhelming, isolating, and intimidating, even for expert nurse leaders and clinicians. This article presents the journey of two experienced nurse leaders who transitioned into academia and explores how to overcome challenges during the transition period.
