About this blog
This blog is designed to be a forum for next-gen academic nursing leaders interested in creating next-era academic nursing. Most of today’s digital sources for current or aspiring academic nursing leaders are tied to professional organizations. These sites are robust resources but they are not necessarily designed to support the free-flow of conversation that is needed when leaders are trying to hammer out forward-thinking ideas in real-time. This blog complements existing digital resources by creating a venue for advancing academic nursing through the sometimes messy process of thinking out loud. The primary goal is to challenge both current and future academic nursing leaders to engage in compelling conversations about the future of academic nursing. I aspire to accomplish this through serial blogs dedicated to annual themes, occasional blogs reacting to current events, and audio interviews with leaders inside and outside the profession.
