Here you will find the tools you need to be successful in your new role as an academic nurse educator! By participating in this Virtual Community of Practice, I hope that you can establish quality connections in all facets of your role to make the transition from clinician to educator that much easier.
Some of you may remember the stress and uncertainty of starting out on the floor. Over time, you built connections, learned the tricks of the trade, and gained confidence. This should be no different, yet the research (along with the anecdotal evidence and personal experience) is telling us otherwise.
Our students, our patients, and our communities need amazing nurse educators to prepare the future nursing workforce, and I hope that this endeavor gives you the tools you need to be successful. When I speak about connections, I am referring to one another, your students, peers, clinical partners, and more!
