Nutrition is a fundamental component of nursing education and is essential to providing high quality care across the spectrum of healthcare. Nutrition is particularly important for meeting the care needs of older adult and young child populations who may be at increased risk for malnutrition. In the United States (U.S.) nutrition-focused nursing education may be limited, but there are opportunities for enhancement at the baccalaureate and graduate levels. This policy paper briefly outlines the need to enhance nutrition as an integral part of high-quality nursing care to align with current nutrition policy changes in the U.S. It also discusses segmenting nutrition content by nursing degree programs, differentiating nutrition content as separate from versus integrated into nursing curricula, and effective teaching methods for nutrition content. Also described are nutrition-focused continuing education and certifications that can further augment nutrition in nursing education programs to “nourish the mind” of future practitioners.

Requesting manuscript feedback from a friend or colleague plays an important role in preparing a manuscript for journal submission. Writers benefit from honest feedback to identify strengths and weaknesses of a manuscript. A critical friend balances the roles of critic and friend enabling the writer to view their manuscript from a different perspective. This article reviews the critical friend literature related to providing manuscript feedback. Suggestions for selecting a critical friend, developing a writing feedback group, and how to provide quality feedback are discussed. Benefits and challenges exist when developing critical friendships for manuscript review.

Background
The inadequate supply of nursing faculty presents challenges in educating nurses and addressing the nursing shortage. While the importance of intentionally onboarding newly hired faculty is widely acknowledged, there is little consensus about the specifics of onboarding program, or their implementation and evaluation.
Purpose
The purpose of this study was to examine the scope, characteristics, and effectiveness of faculty onboarding programs in nursing education.
Methods
A scoping review of 23 unique research studies published between January 2000 and December 2024 was conducted to answer three questions: 1) How is nursing faculty onboarding defined? 2) What features characterize faculty onboarding programs? and 3) What outcomes are used to assess onboarding program effectiveness?
Results
Onboarding programs varied in scope, encompassing orientation, mentorship, and/or pedagogical development. Program features differed in structure, duration, and delivery, and had varying levels of administrative and operational support and oversight. Although onboarding programs were reported as effective in boosting faculty satisfaction, competency, retention, and academic achievements, studies were localized, and limited by small sample sizes, varying methodologies, and differing outcome metrics.
Conclusions
Faculty onboarding programs show promise but require further research to evaluate their impact and sustainability. Clear definitions, consistent implementation, and outcome measurement are needed to guide policy and practice in nursing education.
