Abstract
Healthcare is facing a crisis related to a shortage of nurses. One of the most alarming factors regarding this shortage is the lack of academic nurse educators (ANE). The problem addressed in this study was the shortage of ANEs due to obstacles in the role transition process. The theoretical framework used was the nurse educator transition theory which connected well with this study as this theory focuses on stages of ANE role transition. Two research questions were used that identified perceptions of best practices in role transition of ANEs and best strategies in retention. Participants were early-career ANEs with 1 to 5 years of education experience that have either a master's or doctorate in nursing or education.
