Where are nurse-scientists? academic nursing research at critical crossroads

Academic nursing is at critical crossroads as we bear witness to the havoc brought on by the global COVID-19 pandemic and society's awareness of racism that permeates much of American society (Bridges,  2019; Jeffries, 2020; Yoshinaga et al., 2022). Pausing and pivoting, strategies are also needed as senior nursing faculty have retired in larger than ever numbers (Matthews et al., 2021). Investing in the current and the next generation of nurse-scientists is one of the pressing problems facing our discipline if we are going to solve problems plaguing nursing and the health concerns addressed by nurses.
