Description: The twofold purpose of this study was determining the concerns novice associate degree nursing faculties have about their new role as educators and determining the effectiveness of community college staff development programs in meeting their concerns. Novice faculties and directors of associate degree nursing programs in community colleges registered their perceptions of the degree of importance and the degree of effectiveness of each of the thirty curricular and instructional concerns. A questionnaire was sent to 250 randomly selected community college associate degree nursing programs throughout the United States. Based on the study's findings, the conclusions were: all thirty concerns are important for the novice nursing educator; on a national level community college staff development programs are ineffective in meeting the curricular and instructional concerns of novice nursing educators; and novice faculties lack consistent assistance for developing their teaching role in associate degree nursing programs.
