Nursing is a practice profession that transitions some bedside clinicians to another career, such as a nursing faculty member in a university nursing program. Given the current faculty shortage, many clinicians may be considering this kind of transition. The nurse considering such a career change can benefit from learning about the job expectations of academe and being prepared to ask questions in the initial interview that may impact future satisfaction and retention. Awareness of job expectations in the areas of teaching, scholarship, service, and practice and consideration of key levels of individuals who will participate in the series of interviews provide the background for such questions. The lessons learned presented in this article were written a year after one of the author's initial faculty interviews and reflect on the advantages of preparation.
护理是一门实践性职业,它使一些床边临床医生转向另一种职业,比如大学护理专业的教员。鉴于目前师资短缺,许多临床医生可能正在考虑这种转变。考虑这种职业转变的护士可以从了解学术界的工作期望中受益,并准备好在初次面试中提出可能影响未来满意度和留任意愿的问题。了解教学、学术、服务和实践领域的工作期望,并考虑参与一系列面试的关键人员层级,为提出此类问题提供了背景。本文中分享的经验教训是在作者初次参加教员面试一年后撰写的,反映了做好准备的好处。
