Abstract

This article presents a retrospective analysis of the Statement of Belief Regarding Faculty Practice that was issued by 13 nursing leaders on January 12, 1979. The analysis is performed in an attempt to gain an appreciation for and an understanding of the efforts that have gone into decreasing the separation between nursing education and nursing service through development and implementation of faculty practice programs within nursing. The statement was not the beginning of faculty practice programs, nor was it the first time that there had been recognition of the separation between nursing service and nursing education. However, it was the first time that leaders within nursing had issued a statement endorsing nursing faculty seeking careers as teachers and clinical practitioners. The literature regarding the separation of nursing education and nursing service in relation to faculty practice is reviewed and the comments of various individuals who were actively involved in issuing the statement of belief regarding faculty practice are synthesized. The impact of the statement is assessed and evaluated. The degree of implementation of the statement is discussed. A summary of the present status of the implementation of the statement of belief regarding faculty practice is provided with some suggested direction for the future.
