2021 Teaching & Assessment Symposium
Assessment of the Nurse Educator Competencies in Novice Nursing Faculty
Location
Virtual
Description
The purpose of this project was to evaluate the reported achievement of nurse educator competencies among graduate students, adjunct and novice nurse educators. The competencies, outlined by the National League for Nursing, were assessed using a validated questionnaire to determine participants’ perceptions of competency in eight areas. Considering the nurse faculty shortage, it is essential that nurse educators are prepared to effectively teach future nurses. This project has assisted the nursing faculty to revise and strengthen the PhD and educator certification programs, as well as plan faculty development for novice nurse educators as they transition to the academic role.
