Dear Faculty, 

I am a doctoral learner under the direction of Dr. Ronnie Boseman in the College of Doctoral Studies at Grand Canyon University. My name is Pamela Newton.

I messaged this for approval to go live on allnureses.com for my research data collection to begin.  I am disappointed, I have not heard from anyone, nor has there been visible progress toward the goal of data collection.  Is there some helpful action I might initiate to facilitate the progress?  Thank you.  PamtheNurse

It could simply be your timing is off. While not one of the most active forums, the educator forum, at least to my anecdotal history, seems to experience a Summer slump, very similar to the school nurse forum. Additionally, it appears there’s a mix of staff educators and academic educators (many who are adjunct) who have posted here, and those of us who are staff educators or not full time don’t meet criteria.

Your academic research request has been approved. Check your email. I added the name of your research study.  Hopefully, this will attract participants.

Thank you for your assistance.  I am looking forward to more survey responses.  I know that nursing faculty is just returning for a stressful new semester start under our nation's current circumstances.  As a fellow nursing faculty, I am asking for 10 minutes of their time to complete my survey and contribute to possible change.

Thank you for all of the survey responses there have been so far.  More are needed!  Please feel free to tell and post to any nurse or nursing faculty that has 10 minutes to help identify burnout interventions for colleagues.

Hello, PamtheNurse,

I am just now seeing your original article post and link to your research survey (I'm new to allnurses.com). I hope you were able to get the data collection you needed for your dissertation topic. I found in my own lit review that 56% of nurses in one study stated their facility was either slightly ineffective or highly ineffective at helping nurses address burnout (The Joint Commission, 2019). As a doctoral candidate, I am also researching the implications of a proposed clinical staffing strategy to combat burnout, low morale and engagement, and retention issues for nurses. This is in alignment with your study on individual and organizational interventions to strengthen coping abilities within workplace stressors. Are the results of your study available here in summary form? I'd be very interested in seeing how things went for you. Thank you for sharing your post!

Melissa,

It has been a minute since I last posted in allnurses. Yes, I did finish my doctorate and published it just about 30 days ago in PROQUEST. I have not yet received notification of public access availability, therefore I have no shareable link. Recently, my life has been on hold due to a health challenge, and a synopsis posting of my dissertation in this space is next on my list. So soon!  Thanks for your interest and please stay in touch as we have much in common.
