Research summary
Impostor phenomenon.
Intuitively nurse educators know that graduate students in both master’s and doctoral programs question their ability to succeed – “Am I really good enough?” The imposter phenomenon, an internalized sense of inadequacy and fear of being seen as a fraud in the presence of external indicators of authentic achievement, is experienced by highly successful individuals who, in spite of their successes, discount their abilities and believe they have fooled everyone.These individuals attribute success to luck, chance, or faulty judgment of others. The overall purpose of this mixed methods study was to investigate the imposter phenomenon amongst graduate nursing students. Scanlan, J.M., Laurencelle, F., & Plohman, J. (2023). Understanding the imposter phenomenon in graduate nursing students. International Journal of Nursing Education Scholarship, 20(1): 20220058.
Aspirations of early career nurses: With the impending loss of nurse leaders due to retirements, the recruitment and development of future leaders are urgent and of vital importance. Early career nurses are the future of Canadian nursing and will play a pivotal role in addressing issues related to the current shortage of nurses. In anticipation of this generational shift in nursing leadership, it is imperative to understand the aspirations and intentions of millennials and Gen Zs to become leaders in nursing. The purpose of this qualitative study is to elicit the voices of early career nurses (millennials and Gen Z) to identify their aspirations and preparation for leadership and what would support and prepare them for leadership.
