Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic has greatly impacted individuals at all levels of higher education, leading to calls for universities to prepare for the long-term impacts of the pandemic on student, faculty, and staff well-being (Knight et al., 2021). While the majority of COVID-19 research relating to higher education has been devoted to understanding its impact on student and institutional outcomes, little attention has been paid to how the pandemic has impacted faculty well-being and how this may trickle down to impact student learning and university climate. We are a group of nursing faculty from a public university, who have witnessed the traumatic impact that the pandemic has had on our department and others across the nation. We recognize that to provide the highest quality experience for nursing students in the uncertain aftermath of the pandemic, we need to address the harm we have experienced in our faculty and staff roles, rebuild community, and think of creative solutions to develop and model a culture of healing. The purpose of this editorial is to share observations and perspectives on the experiences of nursing faculty during the pandemic, and to propose potential efforts to support healing and continued educational excellence moving forward. Our proposals are guided by a combination of evidence, clinical expertise, and personal experiences across higher education.
