    Nurse educators are responsible for teaching patients, families, nursing staff, and students. They must assess three key determinants of learning - the learner's needs, readiness, and preferred learning styles. As registered nurses with advanced education, nurse educators design curricula, teach, evaluate learning, and document outcomes. They play a crucial role by assessing problems, presenting information, identifying progress, giving feedback, and reinforcing new knowledge, skills, and attitudes. In addition to teaching, nurse educators in academic settings also engage in activities like advising, research, leadership, and writing grant proposals.

    Determinants of Learning Nurses are responsible for the education of patients, families nursing staff, and nursing students.

    The changing health care trends and population demographics mean that the nurse educator must constantly asses the determinants of learning for the varied audience of learners whom they have the responsibility to teach. The nurse educator must beware of what factors influence how well an individual learns. The three determinants of learning that require assessment are: the needs of the learner the state of readiness to learn the preferred learning styles for processing information The Educators Role in Learning

    A nurse educator is a registered nurse who has advanced education, including advanced clinical training in a health care specialty. Nurse educators serve in a variety of roles that range from adjunct (part-time) clinical faculty to dean of a college of nursing. Professional titles include Instructional or Administrative Nurse Faculty, Clinical Nurse Educator, Staff Development Officer and Continuing Education Specialist among others. Nurse educators combine their clinical abilities with responsibilities related to:

    Designing curricula Developing courses/programs of study Teaching and guiding learners Evaluating learning Documenting the outcomes of the educational process.

    The educator plays a crucial role in the learning process by: Assessing the problems or deficits Providing important information and presenting it in unique and appropriate ways Identifying progress being made Giving feedback and follow-up Reinforcing learning in the acquisition of new knowledge, skills and attitude

    Nurse educators also help students and practicing nurses identify their learning needs, strengths and limitations, and they select learning opportunities that will build on strengths and overcome limitations. In addition to teaching, nurse educators who work in academic settings have responsibilities consistent with faculty in other disciplines, including:

    Advising students

    Engaging in scholarly work (e.g., research) Participating in professional associations Speaking/presenting at nursing conferences Contributing to the academic community through leadership roles Engaging in peer review Maintaining clinical competence Writing grant proposals

    A growing number of nurse educators teach part-time while working in a clinical setting. This gives them the opportunity to maintain a high degree of clinical competence while sharing their expertise with novice nurses. Nurse educators who work in practice settings assess the abilities of nurses in practice and collaborate with them and their nurse managers to design learning experiences that will continually strengthen those abilities.
