Abstract

Cohen scholars (CS) is a Maryland scholarship program aimed to increase the number of qualified nurse educators and ease the nurse faculty shortage. Nurses pursuing graduate degrees may apply for scholarships in exchange for service as educators in a faculty or clinical educator role. This study was conducted to understand the career decision-making processes of recent CS graduates and facilitators and barriers to assuming a faculty role. Scholarship recipients overwhelmingly discussed the salary differential with practice as a reason for not pursuing an academic role.
