Abstract

Nursing faculty shortage is a growing concern in the nursing profession. The effects of insufficient nursing faculty are the declining numbers of nursing students admitted to nursing schools. Nursing faculty shortage precipitates the nursing shortage and further threatens public health. Government and private agencies have implemented strategies to retain nursing faculty; however, it is imperative to understand how they respond to the strategies in place and if the strategies influence them to stay. To answer the research question and sub-questions, what hygiene factors (for example physical/emotional work environment, interpersonal interactions, salary, job satisfaction, job security) influence experienced nurse educators' decision to leave the nurse faculty role? 2) What motivation factors (for example, salary, innate drive to succeed, achievements, promotion) influence the experienced nurse educators' decision to stay in the nurse faculty role, a qualitative research study was employed. Though strategies and interventions are implemented to keep nursing faculty within their roles, it is imperative to understand how they influence faculty's decisions to stay.
