Abstract

Highlights: "¢ The transition from clinician to academic can be described as a journey of adversity and resilience. "¢ New nurse academics experience three phases of liminality in their transition. "¢ There are multiple barriers to progression through the liminal phase for new nurse academics. "¢ There are strategies and interventions that assist in the development of resilience in the liminal phase. "¢ These factors can influence the liminal phase and if successful can result in belongingness, confidence and career progression.
