ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT The current nurse faculty shortage warrants new models for both retaining faculty effectively and coaching new faculty efficiently. An approach for retaining faculty members through meeting publication review criteria while conserving senior faculty mentoring time is proposed. This article describes a successful manuscript development process using teamwork and coaching among faculty. The outcomes of this efficacious process - submission and acceptance of publishable manuscripts - are reported for two institutions one is research intensive, and the other is teaching intensive. A noted outcome also includes ideas for future manuscript development process replication.
