“…Mentoring was also found to support the professional and career progress of doctorally prepared nurses (Hafsteinsdóttir et al, 2017), and it has been recommended in many recent reports and studies that mentoring should become widely available to doctorally prepared nurses in all career stages (AACN, 2022; Broome et al, 2023; Rollins Gantz & Hafsteinsdóttir, 2023). In addition, due to the ageing doctorally prepared workforce, doctorally prepared nurses need to become mentors early in their careers (Broome et al, 2023).…”

“…In addition, due to the ageing doctorally prepared workforce, doctorally prepared nurses need to become mentors early in their careers (Broome et al, 2023). This will allow them to develop mentoring competencies themselves and become well‐equipped mentors to support each other as well as the next generation of nurse scientists (Broome et al, 2023; Numminen et al, 2019). To facilitate mentoring to a larger group of doctorally prepared nurses, mentoring should be considered as a part of the work of doctorally prepared nurses and should therefore by facilitated by the organizations.…”

“…Doctoral education prepares individuals to create, translate and communicate new knowledge as leaders within higher education institutions, as well as outside of academia (Broome et al, 2023). Doctorally prepared nurses have an important role in shaping the future of nursing and health care by developing the research base required to support evidence‐based practice in nursing and translating this evidence into practice and education (Dreifuerst et al, 2016; Kim et al, 2022; National Academy of Medicine, 2021).…”

“…Career pathways for careers in other fields and settings do not seem to be present in many cases.Investment in diverse and advanced career pathways in(academic) nursing is important as this may increase the number of nurses who are interested in doctoral education. Attractive career pathways and opportunities for career advancement may have a positive influence on the retainment of doctorally prepared nurses.In recent years, various reports and studies have been published on the recruitment, retainment and development of doctorally prepared nurses(AACN, 2022;Broome et al, 2023;Kim et al, 2022; NAM, 2021; NHS, 2021;Weaver et al, 2023). Besides the need to increase the numbers of doctorally prepared nurses in all fields, these documents report strategies to strengthen the doctorally prepared workforce.…”

AimTo integrate research literature regarding careers, career development and factors influencing the career development of doctorally prepared nurses.DesignAn integrative review.Data SourcesMedline, CINAHL and Embase were searched in June 2022 without time restrictions.MethodsPeer‐reviewed empirical publications written in English with different types of study designs were included. Two researchers independently applied eligibility criteria, selected studies and conducted quality appraisals using Joanna Briggs checklists. Data were extracted and analysed using a convergent integrated approach with thematic analysis. Themes were established within three categories based on the research questions: career, career development and factors influencing career development.ResultsTwenty‐two studies were included. Nine themes were identified. One theme regarding careers describes that doctorally prepared nurses need to prioritize work within different positions. The two themes focusing on career development described the need to determine career goals after the doctorate and further develop competencies. Six themes described factors influencing career development: ‘Intrinsic motivation to improve health care and nursing education’, ‘Available support sources’, ‘Professional development programmes’, ‘Work–life balance’, ‘Organizational infrastructures for career advancement’ and ‘Competition and hostile treatment among colleagues’.ConclusionLimited knowledge of the careers and career development of doctorally prepared nurses was found. Doctorally prepared nurses need to balance work with various part‐time positions. Careers and career development could be supported by the development of structures for career advancement as well as supportive working environments.ImpactDoctorally prepared nurses with strong careers are important to health care and nursing as they generate and implement new knowledge into clinical practice and thereby support the improvement of (nursing) care and patient outcomes. This study provides considerations towards strengthening the careers of doctorally prepared nurses.Reporting MethodPRISMA.Patient or Public ContributionNo Patient or Public Contribution.
