Recent efforts to ease the nursing shortage focus on recruiting and retaining younger faculty. The first years in a tenure-track position are especially challenging for new faculty who struggle to negotiate demands of academia along with parenting young children. These struggles may influence retention and require further exploration. A case study using qualitative content analysis was conducted on the transitioning experiences of three assistant professors of nursing, who had young children, during their first two years on tenure track at a research-intensive public university. Three main content areas emerged: adapting to the academic role, negotiating work/life demands, and benefiting from mentoring. To help ease the nurse faculty shortage, colleges and universities should strive to implement family-friendly policies and mentoring programs to retain faculty with young children.
近期为缓解护理人才短缺所做的努力集中在招募和留住年轻教师上。对于那些既要应对学术要求又要照顾年幼子女的新教师来说， tenure-track职位的头几年尤其具有挑战性。这些困难可能会影响留任情况，需要进一步探讨。对一所研究型公立大学的三名有年幼子女的护理学助理教授在 tenure track的头两年的过渡经历进行了一项采用定性内容分析的案例研究。出现了三个主要内容领域：适应学术角色、协调工作/生活需求以及从指导中受益。为帮助缓解护理教师短缺的状况，学院和大学应努力实施家庭友好型政策和指导计划，以留住有年幼子女的教师。
