June 6, 2011 - If you loved your time in nursing school, you enjoy sharing your knowledge with others, you thrive in a constantly changing environment, and you want to impact the future of nursing and increase exponentially the number of lives you are able to save, a career in nursing education may be calling your name.

“We are in the business of educating the next generation of nurses,” stated Judith F. Karshmer, Ph.D., APRN, BC, professor and dean of the University of San Francisco School of Nursing. “As a school of nursing faculty, our job encompasses attracting qualified candidates, working with our partners in practice to know what is the role and domain of nurse practice for both today and tomorrow. We partner with other nursing faculty and our colleagues across the campus to develop curricula that link undergraduate liberal arts and sciences to the art and science of nursing, and design curricula that are current and that reflect dynamic changes in the profession.”

How academic physicians turn into drug company shills, KevinMD.com

by Carl Elliott

These days many thought leaders find themselves on shaky ground. The past few years have not been good for business. Some of the most prominent thought leaders have been exposed and censured by Grassley. Others have seen public opinion turning against them and gone underground. As more states institute Sunshine laws, anyone considering an industry consultancy must weigh the money and status boost against the potential downside of public exposure.

Still, the thought-leader business has proved more resilient than many people predicted. Most of the thought leaders investigated by Grassley have managed to retain their academic positions, even in the face of withering criticism. A resistance movement has even formed. Led by Dr. Thomas Stossel of Harvard University, the Association of Clinical Researchers and Educators (ACRE) has defiantly opposed attempts to cut back industry payments to doctors.

Many former thought leaders simply confess disillusionment. “There is a feeling that you want to be where the action is, and even if it’s not real action, at least industry gives you the feeling that things are happening,” Healy says. “They give you the feeling that you’re up on the wave.” After a while, however, the thrill of consulting begins to wear thin. There are just too many airports, too many hotels, too many fancy dinners. Eventually they all look the same. Healy says, “You’ve got a choice between the boredoms of perpetually surfing—where the first two waves are fun, but eight hours later, Jesus Christ—or do you return to the tedium of the beach?”
