Challenges experienced by newly employed nurse educators during transition from being expert clinicians to novice nurse educators

Newly employed nurse educators' transition from clinical practice to academia is often overlooked yet is challenging. The assumption is that newly employed nurse educators are expert clinicians, and therefore are specialists even in the academic space. However, this is not the case, because the academic environment is totally different from the clinical environment and can be overwhelming for novice nurse educators. It is recommended that more research should be conducted on support measures for newly employed nurse educators.
