AIM A national survey was conducted to examine the relationship between individual students' experiences and nursing PhD program characteristics and program outcomes.BACKGROUND In light of the shortage of doctorally prepared nurse scientists and a growth in nursing PhD programs, an examination of the PhD nursing education experience in relation to educational outcomes is timely.METHOD Data were collected from graduates of a 50 percent random sample of nursing PhD programs in the United States.RESULTS Graduates who had worked as research assistants, attended classroom-based programs, and worked as a nurse no more than 12 hours per week during their PhD education were more likely to have successful publication records and receive external research grant funding than graduates who did not have these experiences.CONCLUSION On the basis of traditionally accepted measures of research productivity, our results indicate that nursing PhD programs have limited success in producing nurse researchers.
