In this episode, Senior Clinical Editor, Lisa Bonsall, MSN, RN, CRNP, CCRN-K, speaks with Dr. Kenya Beard, Inaugural Dean and Chief Academic Officer at Mercy College School of Nursing, and Dr. Sally Carlisle, the Director for the Nurse Faculty Fellowship at Chamberlain University. 

Dr. Beard and Dr. Carlisle answer some of the questions that were submitted by attendees of the webinar, Preparing the Next Generation of Practice-Ready Nurses. In this podcast, the following questions are addressed: 

You started the first faculty residency/fellowship program in the country. What drove you to develop this program? How did you demonstrate to Chamberlain University that this program should be implemented?  What have been the measurable outcomes you’ve discovered since implementing the fellowship program? What would you recommend to others who want to develop a similar program?
