Nursing Education Perspectives
|October 15, 2016
Summary
Academic nurse educators with more full-time experience are more likely to pass the Certified Nurse Educator (CNE) exam. This highlights the need for faculty development and mentoring for those with less experience.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Professional Certification
Background:
- First-time pass/fail performance on the Certified Nurse Educator (CNE) examination has not been previously studied.
- Understanding factors influencing CNE examination success is crucial for academic nurse educators.
Purpose of the Study:
- To analyze the first-time pass/fail performance of academic nurse educators on the CNE examination.
- To identify factors associated with CNE examination success.
Main Methods:
- Quantitative study of 2,673 academic nurse educators.
- Data analyzed using descriptive statistics, chi-square test, and binary logistic regression.
Main Results:
- No significant relationship found between eligibility option and pass/fail performance.
- Each additional year of full-time experience increased the likelihood of passing the CNE examination by 1.05 times (OR = 1.05; 95% CI [1.03, 1.06]).
Conclusions:
- Faculty development and mentoring are recommended for nurse educators with less than five years of experience.
- Doctoral preparation may support success on the CNE examination.

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.

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.
