The American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) released a faculty practice tool kit drawing on recommendations from the National Academy of Medicine's The Future of Nursing 2020-2030 report, new AACN Essentials, and AACN Advancing Healthcare Transformation report, reaffirming their support that nurse educators engage in all forms of practice. This podcast with Dr. Kelly Gonzales presents the results of a study about the need to incorporate faculty practice experiences within an academic setting for nursing practitioner faculty. Concepts from the results of the study can be applied to other nursing faculty.
