Summary
Standardized pedagogical preparation is lacking for nurse educators. Requiring a Certified Nurse Educator credential or teaching certificate would improve nursing education and evidence-based teaching methods for students.
Area of Science:
- Nursing Education
- Pedagogical Training
- Academic Nursing
Background:
- Lack of standardized pedagogical preparation requirements for nurse educators nationally.
- Stakeholder concerns regarding the adequacy of current nurse educator training in academia.
- Existing recommendations focus on advanced nursing degrees but not specific teaching preparation.
Purpose of the Study:
- To propose a policy requiring pedagogical preparation for nurse educators.
- To advocate for the Certified Nurse Educator credential or a teaching certificate.
- To address the identified gap in formal teaching education for nursing faculty.
Main Methods:
- Policy analysis and recommendation development.
- Review of current standards and stakeholder input.
- Proposal of specific credentialing or certification pathways.
Main Results:
- Implementation of a requirement would enhance nurse educators' understanding of nursing education science.
- Educators would gain improved preparation in teaching methodologies.
- Students would benefit from evidence-based teaching strategies.
Conclusions:
- Mandatory pedagogical preparation is essential for advancing nursing education quality.
- The Certified Nurse Educator credential or a teaching certificate offers a viable solution.
- This policy change would elevate the standard of nursing faculty preparation and student outcomes.

Planning for learning involves the development of a teaching plan. Teaching plans are similar to nursing care plans—both follow the steps of the nursing process. Planning in the teaching process involves setting goals and outcomes. Here, goals identify what a patient needs to achieve to understand a healthcare topic better, whereas the outcomes are the action to be performed by the patient to achieve the goal within a timeframe. For example, if the goal is to educate the patient about...
