Opening Program Session
The Need for Doctorally Prepared Nurses: The National
Academy of Sciences Report
The recent report from the National Academy of Sciences
calls for nursing to increase the number of doctorally
prepared nurses in a number of ways: by doubling the number
of nurse scientists; developing a non-research clinical
doctorate to prepare expert practitioners who can also
serve as clinical faculty; and increasing the number of
productive research years for nurses prepared in PhD,
DNSc and similar doctoral programs. Learn more about these
recommendations and their implications from two nurse
leaders active in preparation of the report.

Program Session
Faculty Career Development: Our Own and Others
What is involved with faculty career development, and why
bother? Join an experienced academic leader whose recent focus
has been helping faculty identify their own career goals,
strategies to be completely successful in reaching them, and
considerations for assisting colleagues with the same type
of personal reflection. Think about the differing perspectives
of the faculty member, the dean/department chair, the university,
and students. Identify career stages, and the hallmarks and
faculty development needs of each. Join colleagues in conversation
about best practices across the county.
