Conclusions: The successful utilization of career cartography may accelerate
advancement of individual careers, scientific impact, and the discipline as a
whole by guiding nurse researchers to be deliberative in career planning and
to communicate successfully the outcomes of research across a wide variety of
stakeholders. Career cartography provides a framework for planning a nurse
researcher’s program of research and scholarship to advance science, policy,
and health of the public.
Clinical Relevance: Career cartography guides nurse researchers to realize
their full potential to advance the health of the public and inform public and
health policy in academic and practice environments
