University professional development funds, generally present for faculty, and often available for graduate students through grants or stipends, are seldom available to undergraduates.

The research problem addressed in this study was the lack of information identifying how and in what ways leadership influences retention and intent to stay in academia. The purpose of this phenomenological study was to explore the perceptual views of current faculty, using the leader-member exchange theory. Focusing on baccalaureate nursing …

The primary focus of nursing education in the 21st century is to graduate students with well-developed critical thinking and clinical reasoning skills.
