The experience of novice nurse faculty in an associate degree education program
چکیده انگلیسی

The purpose of the qualitative phenomenological study was to understand the experience of the novice nursing faculty member in an associate degree nursing program. Novice nursing faculty (N = 6) in a community college setting, with 1 to 2 years of experience in a full-time faculty position, were interviewed. Included in the study were field notes and a demographic survey. A phenomenological approach, based on the Colaizzi's School of phenomenology, was used to analyze the data. Four themes emerged: Theme 1—Dancing as Fast as I Can: The Great Learning Curve; Theme 2—Importance of the Team: The Need for Support; Theme 3—From Expert Clinician to Novice Educator: The Role Transition; Theme 4—Meeting Student Needs: The Balance in Faculty/Student Relationships; Theme 5—A Love of Teaching: The Desire to Continue. Study outcomes provide meaning for the establishment of evidence-based methods designed to attract, nurture, and retain nursing educators in associate degree education. Implications for practice, education, and research center on long-term faculty and administrative support for the novice educator. Future research in associate degree nursing education is warranted to further examine the benefits of a functioning team, to study the dynamics of faculty–student relationships, and to explore additional methods to bridge the disconnect between the clinical and academic role.
