title: Nursing and academic merit: is there a fit?
abstract: Academic workplaces for nursing faculty who are primarily White women present many opportunities to excel. In this article, we offer a gender-specific examination and critique regarding what nursing faculty do well and why this may not be recognized. We also suggest solutions for placing value on what nursing faculty bring to this work setting.
