How do applicants demonstrate their eligibility? What are the characteristics of the applicants selected to become fellows?
Applicants must meet all eligibility criteria. These criteria can be demonstrated by the following: chronology of sustained contributions that have endured over time and been substantial; documentation of how your visionary leadership in nursing education stimulated change and helped create a preferred future for nursing education; citation of specific outcomes that are a direct result of your work; an analysis of how your contributions to nursing education have been congruent with and helped advance the mission and goals of the NLN. Successful applicants provide clear examples of contributions that are above and beyond the responsibilities associated with their employment. They also explain how their work has influenced nursing education, show that their contributions to nursing education have been broad in scope and not limited to their own classrooms or schools, and document how dissemination of their work through various formats has influenced and advanced nursing education.
