Summary
Nurse practitioner faculty can now earn clinical hours for student evaluations during site visits. This change by the American Academy of Nurse Practitioners Certification Board facilitates faculty recertification through documented student assessments.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Clinical Assessment
- Faculty Professional Development
Background:
- Nurse practitioner faculty play a crucial role in student clinical evaluations.
- The American Academy of Nurse Practitioners Certification Board (AANPCB) acknowledges the importance of these evaluations.
- Previous recognition or compensation for faculty clinical site visits was limited.
Purpose of the Study:
- To inform nurse practitioner faculty about the AANPCB's new policy.
- To outline the rationale behind awarding clinical hours to faculty for student visits.
- To provide a procedural framework for documenting these clinical hours for recertification.
Main Methods:
- Policy review and announcement by the AANPCB Board of Commissioners.
- Description of the value of faculty-led clinical site visits.
- Guidance on conducting and documenting student visits for faculty credit.
Main Results:
- The AANPCB Board of Commissioners has approved awarding clinical hours to nurse practitioner faculty.
- These hours are specifically for conducting clinical site visits for student evaluation.
- A procedure for documenting these visits for recertification is now available.
Conclusions:
- Nurse practitioner faculty clinical site visits are now recognized for recertification credit.
- This policy change supports faculty engagement in student clinical education.
- Documenting these visits is essential for faculty to utilize the awarded clinical hours.

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.

The Self-Evaluation Maintenance (SEM) model offers a psychological framework to understand how individuals’ self-esteem is influenced by the achievements of others, particularly those with whom they share close personal bonds. The SEM model operates when personal rather than social identity guides individuals. Central to this model is the notion that individuals have an inherent desire to preserve a favorable self-image, which is continuously shaped by interpersonal comparisons and...

Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005). Often, our behavior, attitudes, and beliefs are affected when we experience a threat to our...

Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.

01:24Sources of Self-Esteem II: Performance Feedback

Self-esteem is intricately tied to our perception of competence and our ability to exert control over our lives. One of the primary sources of this perception is performance feedback — the ongoing evaluation of our actions in terms of success and failure. According to Franks and Marolla (1976), people derive self-worth from experiencing themselves as causal agents, capable of achieving goals and overcoming obstacles. This process nurtures a critical component of self-esteem:...

4.5K
The t-test is a statistical method used to compare the sample mean with a population mean or compare two means from two data sets. The test statistic is calculated from the standard deviation, mean, and number of measurements in the data set at a selected confidence interval and then compared to a table of critical values at this confidence level. If the test statistic is smaller than the critical value, the null hypothesis is accepted. In this case, we state that the difference between the...
