Early career academic nurses can struggle to meet the demands of career development due to feelings of being overwhelmed. Studies indicate that programs targeting these challenges are often sporadic and inconsistent, leading to dissatisfaction and missed opportunities.This paper reports on findings evaluating a program designed to build career-resilience in a group of early career academic nurses who, through the provision of a structured program of support, were enabled to succeed and thrive in the academy. This six session program was informed by Knowles' adult learning theory, Mezirow's transformational learning theory and Lord's reliance on critical transactions.This study was undertaken in a large metropolitan university in Sydney, Australia. Participants included nine early career academic nurses. All had been full-time academics from one to six years. A qualitative descriptive design was employed using Braun and Clarke's six stage process for data analyses. Three themes emerged: the program fostered connections, strengthened expertise and clarified directions. This analysis provided deep insights into the value of collegial relationships to galvanise career success. The program's strength was its ability to lessen participants' feelings of isolation and to develop behaviours that enhance career-resilience.
早期职业学术护士由于感到不知所措，可能难以满足职业发展的需求。研究表明，针对这些挑战的计划通常是零星和不一致的，导致不满和错失机会。本文报告了一项评估计划的结果，该计划旨在培养一组早期职业学术护士的职业韧性，通过提供结构化的支持计划，使他们能够在学术界取得成功并茁壮成长。该六节课程计划以 Knowles 的成人学习理论、Mezirow 的变革学习理论和 Lord 的对关键交易的依赖为基础。本研究在澳大利亚悉尼的一所大型大都市大学进行。参与者包括九名早期职业学术护士。他们都是全职学者，工作年限从一年到六年不等。采用 Braun 和 Clarke 的六阶段数据分析过程进行定性描述设计。出现了三个主题：该计划促进了联系、增强了专业知识和明确了方向。这一分析深入了解了同事关系在推动职业成功方面的价值。该计划的优势在于它能够减轻参与者的孤立感，并培养增强职业韧性的行为。
