Everyone is discussing the nursing shortage, and how desperately those with nursing skills are needed throughout the country. Nursing programs are attempting to produce enough new nurses to fill that shortage, but who is teaching these fresh young faces? Nurse educators—and the next area anticipating a shortage in the field of nursing is right there in the nursing school.
So what do Nursing Educators do? They combine their clinical expertise with a passion for teaching, and turn that into a rich and rewarding career. These nurses, who work both in the classroom and the practice setting, are responsible for preparing and mentoring current and future generations of nurses. Nurse educators play a pivotal role in strengthening the nursing workforce, serving as role models and providing leadership. Without Nurse Educators, well, there will be no new nurses.
Being a Nurse Educator is a big responsibility, since they are responsible for designing, implementing, evaluating and revising academic and continuing education programs for nurses. These include formal academic programs that lead to a degree or certificate, or more informal continuing education programs designed to meet individual learning needs.
