Abstract

Contemporary academic communities in nursing are experiencing an increasing number of new teachers, particularly those who teach part-time, at the same time that they are experiencing a growing shortage of faculty members prepared at the doctoral level. The presence of large numbers of new teachers in the face of a shortage of experienced teachers underscores the necessity of graduate preparation for teaching in nursing. However, increasingly, the pool of new teachers in nursing is comprised of nurses academically prepared for advanced nursing practice or research, not teaching. This preparation is important but is not sufficient for teaching in contemporary academic communities. The purpose of this study was to explore the lived experiences of contemporary new teachers in nursing education to illuminate their common practices and shared meanings and to uncover new possibilities for preparing for the practice of teaching in nursing education.
