Background:

Professional practice attributes are vital for advancing nursing as a profession.
Nurses require high professional commitment and competence in their roles.
Effective nursing education relies on competent and dedicated nurse educators.

Purpose of the Study:

To assess the professional practice attributes of nurse educators in Northern India.
To identify factors influencing nurse educators' professional practice.
To inform strategies for enhancing nursing education standards.

Main Methods:

A descriptive survey was conducted among 343 nurse educators in Northern Indian nursing institutes.
Data were collected using self-reported questionnaires on socio-demographics, organizational characteristics, and professional practice attributes.
Descriptive and inferential statistics were employed for data analysis.

Main Results:

Participants generally scored poorly on professional practice attributes (Mean, SD: 1.98, 2.03).
Low scores were associated with personal factors (age, gender), professional background (education, qualifications, designation), and organizational characteristics (establishment duration, courses, management).

Conclusions:

Nurse educators need enhanced competence and dedication to improve nursing education.
Nursing regulatory bodies and government must actively promote nurse educators' professional development.
Raising nursing education standards requires targeted interventions for nurse educators.
