Transitioning from Clinical Nursing to Nursing Faculty Tool Kit
The purpose of this tool kit is to:
- Explore the concept of role change and the impact of role change, from clinician to faculty, on the individual.
- To provide a theoretical framework for transitioning into a faculty role as described in the literature.
- To describe the faculty positions available for the clinician and provide a roadmap for attaining that position.
This tool kit was prepared by Hilda Haynes-Lewis, Jonas Veteran Healthcare Scholar (2014-2016) and Triniece Pearson, Jonas Nurse Leader Scholar (2014-2016) for the Graduate Nursing Student Academy (GNSA). AACN has not officially endorsed the materials contained therein.
