Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Academic Development
- Faculty Experience
Background:
- Addressing the critical shortage of nurse faculty requires understanding the challenges new educators face when transitioning from clinical practice to academia.
- The demand for qualified nurse educators is high due to ongoing shortages in nursing and nursing faculty.
Purpose of the Study:
- To explore the lived experiences of nurse educators.
- To identify characteristics, traits, practices, and experiences influencing the development and competence of nurse educators.
Main Methods:
- A phenomenological study was conducted.
- Purposive sampling included nurse educators with over five years of full-time teaching experience, nominated by peers as effective.
Main Results:
- Eight major themes emerged, detailing factors supporting new faculty in academia.
- The study explored characteristics of effective nurse teachers, offering implications for faculty development.
- The process of learning to teach in higher education was examined.
Conclusions:

2.4K
Evaluation of the teaching process enables the nurse to determine if the patient's learning needs were met and if training was effective. If the expected outcomes are not met, the care plan is revised, and additional education or reinforcement is provided. Nurses can ask questions after the session or obtain feedback to assess the patient's understanding of the topic.
Nurses can use several methods to evaluate patient outcomes. For example, oral questions can assess cognitive learning,...

2.1K
Planning for learning involves the development of a teaching plan. Teaching plans are similar to nursing care plans—both follow the steps of the nursing process. Planning in the teaching process involves setting goals and outcomes. Here, goals identify what a patient needs to achieve to understand a healthcare topic better, whereas the outcomes are the action to be performed by the patient to achieve the goal within a timeframe. For example, if the goal is to educate the patient about...

The nursing process provides a clinical decision-making framework for patients and families to establish and implement a personalized care plan. Since part of the nurse's duties is to teach patients, the steps of the nursing process are the most effective way to approach instruction. The nursing process and the teaching-learning process are inextricably linked.

01:15Nursing Evaluation
4.1K
The evaluation stage signals the end of the nursing process. The nurse gathers evaluative data to assess whether or not the patient has attained the expected results. Whereas the nurse collects data in the nursing assessment to identify the patient's health concerns, the evaluation stage data determines if the indicated health issues are resolved. Evaluative data collection includes two sections: the data acquired to evaluate patient outcomes and the time criteria for data collection.

Professional nurses are not limited to bedside care and are taking roles of greater responsibility. A nurse should have a knowledge-based practice, including personal, theoretical, procedural, cultural, and reflexive knowledge. Additionally, nurses must be competent in cognitive, technical, interpersonal, and ethical/legal skills. Some of the best attributes of successful nurses include the following:
Communication skills: These are critical characteristics, especially speaking and listening.
