The National league for Nursing (2015) stated the need to "Expand mentoring programs 'across the career continuum' and address the continuing nurse faculty shortage, advocates the National League for Nursing in a recently published position statement (available at Position Statements).... Mentoring of Nurse Faculty concludes with recommendations to nurse faculty; deans, directors, and chairpersons; and the NLN. These range from, respectively, “actively participate in mentoring relationships”; “engage new, mid-career, and seasoned faculty in developing mentoring initiatives at your institution”; and “support research on mentoring in the academic environment”.
