CNE Learning Community: Cultivating and Retaining Educators Aspiring to Teaching Excellence
Background:
The United States faces a national shortage of nurse educators who need more educational preparation to successfully transition into an academic setting. A professional learning community (PLC), using the National League for Nursing certified nurse educator (CNE) core competencies, offers an innovative way to meet the learning needs of nurse educators.
Method:
A qualitative descriptive design was used to summarize the experiences of the faculty members who participated in the CNE PLC.
Results:
