There is a growing concern in nursing education related to the shortage of nursing faculty. The experiences of nursing students, including their relationships with nursing faculty, could influence their decision to pursue graduate studies or academic nursing education.
This phenomenological study explored the experiences of Master of Science in Nursing education students and graduates that led them to pursue nursing education. Semistructured interviews were conducted with 10 participants.
Based on participants' responses, five themes emerged: (1) faculty encouragement, mentoring, and enthusiasm; (2) teaching experience; (3) exposure to the faculty role; (4) awareness of the nurse faculty shortage; and (5) funding.
Findings from this study contribute to nursing education by highlighting strategies that could be reinforced into graduate or possibly undergraduate experiences to encourage students to pursue advanced study and academic nursing education, which potentially could help mitigate the nursing faculty shortage. .
护理教育领域对护理师资短缺的担忧日益加剧。护理专业学生的经历，包括他们与护理师资的关系，可能会影响他们继续深造或从事学术护理教育的决定。
这项现象学研究探讨了护理学硕士教育专业学生和毕业生选择从事护理教育的经历。对10名参与者进行了半结构化访谈。
根据参与者的回答，出现了五个主题：（1）师资的鼓励、指导和热情；（2）教学经验；（3）对师资角色的接触；（4）对护理师资短缺的认识；（5）资金。
本研究的结果通过强调可强化到研究生或可能的本科经历中的策略，为护理教育做出了贡献，以鼓励学生追求深造和学术护理教育，这可能有助于缓解护理师资短缺的问题。
