Abstract
Background: Nursing programs continue to use more adjunct faculty members to keep up with the demanding needs of the nursing workforce. Although various nursing programs use adjunct faculty, they differ in the available support and resources offered. A midwestern university offering postlicensure online nursing programs developed an adjunct teaching model to aid teaching requirements.
Method: The authors proposed innovative strategies the nursing programs could use to enhance adjunct support and retention.
Results: The integration of onboarding, orientation, and mentorship processes enhanced adjunct faculty support and overall retention within the programs.
Conclusion: The need for nursing adjunct faculty is expected to continue, and programs must be prepared to use innovative strategies to support them. The use of the outlined onboarding, orientation, and mentorship processes are vital in supporting adjunct job satisfaction and retention. [J Nurs Educ. 2023;62(7):408-411.].
