Several factors impact the achievement of program compliance with accreditation standards. Factors such as ongoing faculty development, faculty consistency, and faculty satisfaction positively influence program adherence and the quality of the nursing program. Structured evidenced-based clinical faculty orientation programs serve as catalysts to the achievement of understanding and consistent compliance with program expectations and requirements. Understanding program expectations and requirements supported by faculty mentorship promotes faculty consistency and satisfaction resulting in program quality improvements. A structured evidenced-based clinical faculty orientation program was implemented within a baccalaureate nursing program during the spring 2023 semester. The quality improvement project addressed the need for a structured, evidenced-based clinical faculty orientation program within this baccalaureate nursing program. As supported by literature, implementing the structured, evidenced-based clinical faculty orientation program with mentorship successfully increased clinical faculty satisfaction and improved the quality of the baccalaureate nursing program. This project supported the recommendation for continuing the structured, evidence-based clinical faculty orientation program with mentorship within this baccalaureate nursing program.en-USclinical faculty, orientation, nursing program, mentorshipDNP Scholarly Project
