Abstract: The development of nursing scholar's careers is rarely e plored specifically in outside the traditional doctoral education countries! This paper reports on a qualitative study of Jordanian graduates of "# $hD programs! %ntervie&s &ere held &ith '( graduates &ho no& &or)ed in * different universities in Jordan as nursing faculty! $articipants reported that their doctoral degree had equipped them &ith confidence and enthusiasm for developing a research career! +entorship, leadership and peer support &ere identified as essential to supporting on-going research activity! Access to these sources of support &as variable and participants also described a range of institutional and organi.ational structures that directly or indirectly discouraged them from developing research productivity! This research suggests that support for post-doctoral novice researchers is an important area for further attention for Jordanian universities, for "# $hD supervisors /and their associated academic departments0 and for the &ider nursing community!
