Abstract

Nurses in formal and informal leadership roles have been stretched to fulfill duties in their own role and be pulled into staffing. These emerging leaders have little energy to pursue an advanced academic degree when they are already considering leaving the profession. In a health care industry filled with ambiguity and volatility, continued efforts to support, retain, and recruit nurses in graduate leadership programs are essential. This article describes how graduate nursing faculty provided support to graduate students in unprecedented times.
