The status of tenure and promotion practices in nursing schools in university settings was studied. Forty nursing administrators from nursing programs around the country responded to a questionnaire regarding requirements to achieve tenure and/or promotion in the areas of teaching, research and scholarly activities, clinical competence, and community service. Findings revealed that while a growing number of nursing programs were more integrated into the academic community, many programs continued to struggle with the need for more faculty prepared at the doctoral level and for increased research activities.
