Abstract

Aim: This review sought to understand what is known in the existing literature about the preparation of APRNs when transitioning from clinical practice to the online/hybrid academic setting. Background: With the looming shortage of qualified nursing faculty and decreasing nursing workforce, it is essential to investigate how Advanced Practice Registered Nurses (APRN) can fill this gap and what can support the APRN transition into the online/hybrid academic setting. Methods: A scoping review was completed using the framework outlined by Arksey and O'Malley and guided by the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses Extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR). Results: The titles and abstracts of 3,287 publications were screened for inclusion, and 11 articles underwent full-text review. No articles answered the review question. Conclusions: An empty review provides direction for future research. Research about the APRN transition from clinical practice to the online/hybrid academic setting is warranted.
