Successful enculturation: strategies for retaining newly hired nursing faculty.
Although the nursing faculty shortage negatively impacts student enrollment figures, it also facilitates career mobility of nursing faculty.

The authors propose a series of supportive activities aimed at enculturation and subsequent retention of newly hired nursing faculty.
