Learning Objective 1: Discuss synergy opportunities for nurse faculty through focusing on integration of learning in three domains: project development, leadership skill development, and advancing scope of influence.
Learning Objective 2: Describe the opportunities and challenges experienced by new academic nursing faculty as they journey toward tenure.
In this poster presentation, the scholar will describe how participation in the 20-month Nurse Faculty Leadership Academy provided an opportunity for her to develop her individual leadership skills. The Kouzes and Posner leadership model provided theoretical guidance as the scholar addressed three primary goals: (1) further developing leadership skills within an academic context; (2) gaining understanding of the process of transition for new faculty through development of a specific guided project; and (3) gaining understanding of administrative and governance structures and processes and their impact on nursing education at faculty, university, and provincial levels. The process of developing a project that focused on faculty transitions provided an opportunity for the scholar to extend her academic networks and increase her profile within her organization. During her tenure with the NFLA, the scholar was able to significantly strengthen her scope of influence in her participation in her academic program, at the University of Victoria, and in her field of research (perinatal substance use and quality improvement and patient safety).
