This study explored best practices for onboarding new faculty in nursing programs in Washington State of the United States. The purpose of this study was to examine, (a) onboarding practices to orient new faculty currently used at nursing programs that provide an Associate Degree, (b) the perceived nurse administrator's role in providing evidence-based orientation and training for new faculty and (c) the perceived barriers in providing evidence-based orientation and training for new faculty and how these barriers might be overcome. This study employed a predominantly qualitative survey design. Participants were nurse administrators in Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) programs in Washington State of the United States. The survey was based on the Klein and Heuser (2008) Inform-Welcome-Guide framework. Surveys were electronically sent to 27 nurse administrators in all of the community and technical colleges in Washington State that offered ADN programs. These nurse administrators were asked about onboarding practices related to new nursing faculty. Onboarding of new nursing faculty needs to be examined because nurses transitioning from the role of expert clinician to novice faculty are often ill prepared to deal with the realities of what is entailed in the faculty role and pedagogy (Jaradat, 2013). The results in this study overall indicate that nurse administrators perceived that new nursing faculty were experiencing orientation/onboarding activities, especially in the area of informing relevant to communication, resources, and training. Areas to focus on for strengthening orientation/onboarding practices particularly were in the welcoming and guiding activities as described by items in the InformWel come-Guide (IWG) Survey administered in this study. These results may be useful as a springboard for conversation within each participating ADN program to determine which specific activities are in place and should be continued as well as ways to advance areas that may benefit by becoming formally implemented as part of the norm of the organizational culture.
