Popis: Aim The aim of the study was to determine student perceptions of faculty advising and the most effective method of faculty advising. Background The nursing faculty advisor is important in facilitating the timely completion of the program. Faculty members have initiated synchronous electronic methods of advising to facilitate advising. Method A descriptive study was conducted with a convenience sample of members of a student nurses' association. The Faculty Advisor Evaluation Questionnaire was used for data collection via online survey. Results With 106 respondents, results demonstrated high levels of student-perceived effectiveness of the advising session, advocacy/accountability, faculty advisor knowledge, and availability. The majority of nursing students reported that face-to-face advising (58.5 percent, n = 62) was the most helpful method. Conclusion This study is one of the first to examine nursing students' perceptions of faculty advising. As nursing faculty implement online methods of advising, it is important to evaluate the evidence.
