“…Approaches to mentorship vary in their intent and design (Burlew, 1991;Sorcinelli & Yun, 2007;Dawson, 2014). In this project, mentors were provided with information about the aims and intent of the project, and opportunities for individual and group discussions with the research team were provided.…”

(2015). Walking alongside: a qualitative study of the experiences and perceptions of academic nurse mentors supporting early career nurse academics. Contemporary Nurse, 51 (1), 69-82.Walking alongside: a qualitative study of the experiences and perceptions of academic nurse mentors supporting early career nurse academics AbstractPurpose: This study explores the experiences and perceptions of academic nurse mentors supporting early career nurse academics (ECNAs). Methods: Interviews were undertaken with mentors following a mentoring partnership with ECNAs. Data were transcribed verbatim and analysed using a process of thematic analysis. Findings: Four themes emerged from the data, namely; motivation for mentoring; constructing the relationship; establishing safe boundaries and managing expectations. Conclusions: This study provides a unique insight into the experiences of mentoring within the context of an academic leadership programme for nurses. Such insights highlight the issues facing academics from professional disciplines and can inform strategies to support their career development. Clinical relevance: A sustainable academic nursing workforce is crucial to ensure that effective preparation of future generations of expert clinical nurses. Therefore, it is important to consider strategies that could strengthen the academic nursing workforce. Methods: Interviews were undertaken with mentors following a mentoring partnership with early career nurse academics, embedded within a leadership development program. Data were transcribed verbatim and analysed using a process of thematic analysis. Disciplines Medicine and Health Sciences | Social and Behavioral Sciences Findings:Four themes emerged from the data, namely; motivation for mentoring; constructing the relationship; establishing safe boundaries; and managing expectations. Whilst all mentors were committed to developing and supporting their mentees, all felt that the relationships primarily existed to meet the mentees needs. Conclusions:With the aging nurse academic workforce there is a need for succession planning and professional development of early career academics. This study provides a unique insight into the experiences of mentoring within the context of an academic leadership program for nurses. Such insights highlight the issues facing academics from professional disciplines and can inform strategies to support their career development.Clinical relevance: A sustainable academic nursing workforce is crucial to ensure that effective preparation of future generations of expert clinical nurses. Therefore, it is important to consider strategies that could strengthen the academic nursing workforce.

Tenured faculty and those on the tenure track are now a minority on American college and university campuses as the number of part time instructors and professors hired on a contract has increased. A disproportionate number of these non-tenure track faculty members are women. With greater demands for publications and funded research in the first five or six years of their careers, many women fear the consequences of having children during this period, which coincides with their prime childbearing years. In response, they may be opting out of the race for tenure in order to achieve what they perceive as a more desirable work-life balance by choosing part-time or non-tenure track full time academic positions.At the same time, there is a critical shortage of skilled science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) professionals in the United States, as well as in many Western European nations, which, in turn, decreases the pool from which to recruit faculty, who are urgently needed to educate students in these disciplines. Therefore, it becomes increasingly important for colleges and universities to learn what impact, if any, the availability of tenure-track positions may have on their ability to attract and retain women faculty to meet this need.Using qualitative and quantitative data, this study examines the work life balance and job satisfaction of women engineering and technology faculty both on and off the tenure track. Recommendations for academic policies and practices based on their responses are offered.

“…For example, the structure of peer mentoring may advance psychosocial functions, while supervisory mentoring may advance career functions (Ensher et al, 2001). Also, a structure that uses multiple mentors may more likely yield a broader set of mentoring functions and strengthen training than a one-mentor structure (Baugh & Scandura, 1999;Burlew, 1991;Nolinske, 1995;Packard, 2003a). Overall, alternatives to the traditional model may be crucial to support underrepresented groups, whether in or out of science fields (Dreher & Dougherty, 1997;Packard, 2003b).…”

“…A network may vary in timing of access to multiple mentors as well as in its content. In terms of timing, multiple mentors may be enlisted concurrently (Burlew, 1991;Packard, 2003a) or sequentially (Baugh & Scandura, 1999;Nolinske, 1995). In terms of content, the network can contain peers, "step-ahead" peers, or supervisors (Ensher, Thomas, & Murphy, 2001).…”
