Strategies to enhance the success of mid-career nurse scientists

Nurse scientists are active in scientific inquiry across a wide range of academic (e.g., research, teaching) and other institutional (e.g., hospital, clinic, community) settings (Thompson  et al., 2019). For academic nurse scientists, many research-intensive universities go to great lengths to protect assistant professors, by providing sufficient research time, lighter teaching loads, carefully selected service assignments, and regular one-on-one senior mentor meetings (Conn et a l., 2018). During the years taken to earn the rank of associate professor, the faculty member has demonstrated success in securing grant funding from various sources, with federal funding being preferred by many institutions (Honig et al., 2013).
