The VA Quality Scholars (VAQS) program is an interprofessional fellowship that provides a unique opportunity for predoctoral nurse scientists to embed their work in quality improvement learning "laboratories" to inform their scholarship, science, and research.PURPOSE:
To describe the VAQS program in relation to promoting nursing science and predoctoral nurse scientist (PhD) career trajectories, and to propose policy implications.METHOD:
Data were collected on all predoctoral (PhD, DNP) nurses who entered and completed the VAQS program nationally.FINDINGS:
A total of 17 predoctoral nurses (11 PhD and 6 DNP) have completed the VAQS program. Ten predoctoral PhD nurses (91%) completed their degree while in the program. Nine predoctoral PhD nurses (82%) entered a postdoctoral fellowship, and many obtained positions as faculty at research-intensive universities postfellowship.DISCUSSION:
The knowledge, skills, and experiences gained by predoctoral nurse scientists from the VAQS's program contribute to their nursing research and professional career growth.Palavras-chave
