In the March-April 2022 issue of the Journal of Professional Nursing, Marlena Fisher, a PhD candidate at the Johns Hopkins University School of Nursing, led a writing team on a new article titled Strategies for Success in a Nursing PhD Program and Beyond. With the goal of increasing student retention, the authors describe strategies to facilitate completion of a nursing PhD program and continued career development following graduation. Measures of success include maintaining health, focus, integrity, and a supportive network; identifying mentors; pursuing new knowledge; and advancing research to transform health outcomes.
On March 2, healthcare reporter Lisette Hilton posted a new article on Nurse.com titled Nursing Schools Report Hurdles to Expanding Enrollment. Despite strong interest from prospective students in pursuing a nursing career, U.S. nursing schools are turning away many eligible candidates due to a lack in clinical sites, a shortage of faculty, and other challenges. Dr. Kathryn Tart from the University of Houston College of Nursing and Dr. Joy Longo from Florida Atlantic University’s Christine E. Lynn College of Nursing contributed their insights to this piece. |
