Navigating the path of academic progression: a qualitative descriptive study of associate degree nursing faculty, public health nurses, and school nurses

The purpose of this qualitative descriptive study was to explore impressions about academic progression among faculty teaching in associate degree nursing programs, public health, and school nurses. Navigating the path of academic progression is the overarching theme that describes the common factors identified by study participants as important for nurses who might consider academic progression. Empowering registered nurses to continue their education requires guidance, flexibility, and resources from academic institutions and health care organizations to facilitate seamless, efficient, and achievable academic progression.
