AB  - Increasing the pool of doctorally educated nurses pursuing faculty careers is 
      imperative in the development of the nurse faculty workforce. This 
      cross-sectional study aims to identify barriers and facilitators to academic 
      careers for doctor of nursing practice (DNP) students. One thousand five hundred 
      DNP students were randomly selected from nursing schools across the country to 
      participate in our survey, and a 56.9% response rate was achieved. The study 
      found that 32% of respondents planned to pursue faculty careers after graduating. 
      Students with postgraduation plans for academic careers, nonacademic careers, and 
      undecided careers did not show distinct differences in demographic and academic 
      characteristics, except that students who planned to pursue academic careers were 
      more likely to have full-time and part-time faculty status. However, students in 
      the 3 groups perceived facilitators and barriers to academic careers differently. 
      The most influential facilitators were interest in teaching and an appreciation 
      of the impact of nursing research on patient care, and the most considered 
      barriers were poor financial compensation and a negative perception of academia. 
      In terms of academic preparation, a large percentage of DNP students who planned 
      to pursue a faculty career reported that they were not confident in teaching 
      informatics. These findings are also consistent for DNP students who were not a 
      faculty member. The impact of DNP education appeared to have a small, although 
      positive, impact on students' decisions to pursue academic careers.
