Nurse educators serve as teachers, preceptors and mentors
O
ur nurse educator colleagues are an important part of our nursing careers. From the fi rst day of nursing school to the day we defend our disser-
tation, they are there for us. But how much do we know about their roles? Nurse educators are academic and clinical specialists
working in classrooms, online and in practice settings. Prepared at the master’s or doctoral level, they serve
as faculty in colleges, universities, hospital schools of nursing, or as nurse educators, nurse clinicians or staff development educators in the practice arena. Some teach at the associate or baccalaureate level,
others at the master’s or doctoral level, and their respon- sibilities can include curriculum and content develop- ment, research, didactic and clinical teaching, testing and student evaluation. In the practice setting, whether acute, home care, long-
term care or in the community, they are our teachers, preceptors, mentors, advisers and coaches. They’re the ones who orient us when we get to our fi rst job, test us and clear us for work, teach our in-service classes, train us on new equipment and procedures, and keep us current with CE requirements. They have strong leadership, communication, critical-thinking and people skills. They’re committed to our growth, development and lifelong learning. They’re with us throughout our careers as we take on new roles, hone our skills and advance our education, and they’re well-equipped to do it all. They are educated, engaged and enthusiastic about what they do. They play an
important part in our education and work life as nurses. What would we do without them?
