Part-time clinical nurse educators who simultaneously work in both a clinical and an academic setting experience a unique work-role transition. Identifying and addressing their needs during this time may assist in new faculty retention.
As part of a larger study examining the work-role transition of part-time clinical nurse faculty, a specific research question was developed to determine how these individuals experience the phases of the Nurse Educator Transition (NET) model.
This qualitative phenomenological study used both purposive and snowball sampling to recruit 14 RNs who were part-time clinical educators.
Study findings validated all 4 phases of the NET model. In addition, several participants indicated a sense of returning to the first 2 phases of transition at the beginning of new semesters and courses.
The NET model is applicable to the part-time clinical nurse educator population. This theory can be used as a framework to design orientation and mentorship programs that specifically target part-time clinical nurse educators.
兼职临床护理教师同时在临床和学术环境中工作，他们经历着独特的工作角色转变。在这个时期，了解并满足他们的需求可能有助于新教师的留任。
作为一项更大规模的研究的一部分，该研究旨在考察兼职临床护理教师的工作角色转变，其中提出了一个具体的研究问题，以确定这些人如何体验护士教育者过渡（NET）模型的各个阶段。
这项定性现象学研究采用了目的性和滚雪球抽样方法，招募了 14 名兼职临床教育工作者。
研究结果验证了 NET 模型的所有 4 个阶段。此外，一些参与者表示，在新的学期和课程开始时，他们有一种回到过渡的前两个阶段的感觉。
NET 模型适用于兼职临床护理教师群体。该理论可作为设计专门针对兼职临床护理教师的入职和指导计划的框架。
