What is a Nurse Educator?
Simply defined, a Nurse Educator is a registered professional nurse who teaches nursing students, being responsible for helping students transition from school to entry level practice, through education. Nurse Educators may specialize on a subject.
Although the foremost duty of a Nurse Educator is to teach, as members of the faculty they are responsible for the development of the nursing curriculum, to develop and modify lesson plans, as well as evaluate effectiveness of nursing programs. They must keep themselves up to date with the newest nursing and medical practices. They’ll also be tasked to conduct and publish research, or write grant proposals for funding. Some of them also hold high positions in the academe, such as being a Dean or Director.
These teachers (and nurses) either work in the academic or clinical setting. It’s not uncommon to see nurse educators who are also practicing their profession in a hospital or clinic, assisting physicians (such as an ENT), on the side. Or, they could be working from home, providing support to health consumers online.
