Ensuring success. The Faculty Development Plan.
In higher education, faculty advancement is based on demonstrated productivity in scholarship and service as well as teaching. In nursing, these expectations, added to clinical obligations, can make new faculty feel overwhelmed. The author recommends that new faculty take responsibility for their professional development by working with a dean or department chair to design a 5-year Faculty Development Plan that includes mentoring and participating in other campus support networks.
