Strong leaders are essential for nursing program success, yet few faculty are interested or qualified to assume leadership positions within academia. This generates concern over lingering shortages and lack of succession planning.
A qualitative, descriptive study examined the transition experience of military nurses who became nurse educators. Emerging from an analysis of interviews with 13 Veteran nurses, the subtheme of "using my leadership toolbox" is explored within the context of leadership development.
Grounded in their military leadership development, the participants modeled essential leader qualities. They demonstrated confidence, vision, humility, a strong work ethic, clear communication, and a willingness to assume risk.
Veteran nurses may be a viable solution to bring leadership knowledge, behaviors, and experience to the faculty role. Current academic leaders should facilitate the translation of these leadership attributes to address ongoing challenges facing nursing education. [J Nurs Educ. 2018;57(6):355-358.].
强有力的领导者对于护理项目的成功至关重要，但很少有教师有兴趣或有资格在学术界担任领导职务。这引发了人们对持续短缺和缺乏继任计划的担忧。
一项定性描述性研究考察了从军人护士转型为护理教育者的护士的过渡经历。从对 13 名退伍军人护士的访谈分析中，在领导力发展的背景下探讨了“使用我的领导力工具箱”这一次主题。
参与者以其军事领导力发展为基础，塑造了基本的领导素质。他们表现出自信、远见、谦逊、强烈的职业道德、清晰的沟通能力和承担风险的意愿。
退伍军人护士可能是一个可行的解决方案，可以为教师角色带来领导力知识、行为和经验。当前的学术领导者应该促进这些领导属性的转化，以应对护理教育面临的持续挑战。
