Abstract
Background: The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation created the Future of Nursing Scholars (FNS) program to support accelerated nursing Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) students financially, through leadership development, and with coaching. This article examines the effectiveness of three coaching strategies used to support FNS scholars.
Method: Scholars (n = 51/201) were sent an electronic survey to assess their perceptions of three coaching strategies used during the FNS program.
Results: Although each strategy was identified as helpful, scholars reported that coaching provided by the national program office was the most helpful (54.9%, n = 28/51).
Conclusion: PhD students are well-served to have not just strong academic advisors, but also outside perspectives provided by a knowledgeable coach.
