Nurses in education, especially at smaller universities, may not be socialized or mentored in ways that would support seeking promotion in academia. Barriers and questions about the promotion process and recommendations about frequently asked questions are given in this article, along with biblical encouragement. Seeking promotion to a higher academic rank can bring enhanced credibility with which to serve God and can be an opportunity to improve one's character and ability to glorify God.

This article presents reflections and suggestions for nurse educators in a Christian institution who want to pray with students while teaching online. Suggestions primarily relate to recording prayers for class, including avoiding the appearance of coercion; being clear that students' participation in the recorded prayer will have no effect on grades; placing prayer in recorded material at a consistent location (such as the beginning or the end) so students know when it is coming; being creative in offering varying ways to pray; being authentic; and inviting student participation.
