Abstract
This study explored the needs of faculty telecommuters for a school of nursing, as well as other programs considering employing telecommuters in the future. This was a qualitative descriptive study using content analysis and quantitative demographics. After institutional review board approval was obtained, the study was conducted using a convenience sample of telecommuting nursing faculty from one university. The participants responded to open-ended survey questions describing their experience of telecommuting and provided demographic data. Social interaction was key, especially from faculty who initially were in full-time on-campus positions. How social contact is maintained determined overall success in this role. Factors helping included online meetings, online social interactions, positive reports of flexibility, and experienced high levels of autonomy. A Nursing Faculty Telecommuter Interactional Model for Success was created based on these themes. Technology appeared to be the driving force of productive work days.
