Two faces of nurse faculty: teacher and researcher.
The purpose of this paper is to examine three topics related to nurse educators and research productivity. The first section is an analysis and synthesis of what is known about nurse educator involvement in research activities from published studies. The second section is an examination of factors that may enhance or deter nurse educators from engaging in research activities. The focus of the last section is on the relationship between research and teaching quality. Empirical data are examined and recommendations made for nurse faculty.
