Facilitation of clinical integrations into the academic triad model.
This article presents a brief overview of the historic evolution of nursing faculty practice, with an emphasis on the integration of practice into the traditional academic triad model of teaching, scholarship, and service. Different practice models are discussed and the pros and cons of faculty practice are reviewed. An evaluation of the more than 25 years of faculty practice at the Lienhard School of Nursing, Pace University, is presented as an exemplar. This analysis was based on survey results and informal interviews. Two major outcomes are discussed: the formation of a support group for faculty who are practicing and a recommendation for a University-wide cultural shift.
