Abstract
In this article, the second in a two-part series on research investigating the lived experiences of women nurse academics in Australia, the results of the study are revealed. The major findings indicated that the Australian university system remains competitive and non-supportive of women nurse academics. The women who participated in this study had a strong desire to share their stories and reveal their vulnerability associated with their everyday life experiences in universities. Cultural descriptions revealed the complexity of women nurse academics’ vulnerability as well as the dimensions of emotional resilience and optimism for their associated emotional healing.Keywords
