Journal of Continuing Education in Nursing
|June 30, 2023
Summary
A professional learning community (PLC) effectively supports nurse educators transitioning to academia by focusing on National League for Nursing certified nurse educator (CNE) core competencies. This collaborative approach enhances professional development beyond traditional onboarding.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Academic Transition
- Faculty Development
Background:
- National shortage of qualified nurse educators in the United States.
- Need for enhanced educational preparation for nurse educators entering academic settings.
- Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) as an innovative solution.
Purpose of the Study:
- To explore the experiences of faculty members participating in a Certified Nurse Educator (CNE) PLC.
- To evaluate the effectiveness of PLCs in meeting the professional needs of nurse educators.
Main Methods:
- Qualitative descriptive research design.
- Focus on summarizing faculty experiences within the CNE PLC.
Main Results:
- Five key themes emerged: aspirations for involvement, the significance of community learning, the value of CNE core competencies, challenges encountered, and the importance of engagement.
- Participant experiences highlighted the benefits of collaborative learning.
Conclusions:
- PLCs are effective for meeting the professional needs of academic and clinical faculty.
- This approach fosters learning through interaction, offering an alternative to unidirectional onboarding workshops.
