On running the tenure track: Part I
As I have mentioned in a previous journal publication (Clark, 2010), the days of the tenure track process may be limited for a variety of reasons. New faculty in nursing education programs leave at alarmingly high rates (Clark, 2010), and overall in the USA the percentage of non-tenure positions in higher education continues to grow […]
Nurse Educators: Leading by Example
The fall semester for most nurse educators is well underway.

I am currently attending a spiritual care training course at a local […]
Funding for Nursing Education Research: Where Is It?
In conversation today, it came up that I should be seeking funding for researching the outcomes of my work with developing a holistic-caring-integral curriculum with our RN- BSN students. I have applied for nursing education research grants before, worked with the school’s grant writer, and have yet to procure funding for looking at our program […]
Empowering students to create change
Nursing students often seem to return to school because they are looking for new opportunities within nursing; they may also be experiencing burnout in their current employment situation and looking to create some change for themselves. With the integral-holistic RN-BSN curriculum I have developed, I provide students with tools to reflect on their own growth […]
