Capella FP6103 assessment 1

Write a 2-page article about the history of and trends in nursing and nursing education.

The role of the nurse educator has expanded with the times and moved beyond the faculty role in basic nursing education programs. Nurse educators are also staff development specialists, clinical nurse educators, nurse navigators, patient educators, researchers, and community health educators to name a few of the many options available. A multitude of forces beyond our control, including economic and political forces, may shape our profession of nursing. As nurse educators, however, it is our work to provide the educational foundations needed for patient care, for improved health status for all and for a well-prepared workforce of nurses.

Capella FP6103 assessment 2

Create a 2-page plan addressing the scholarship, service, and teaching elements of a specific nurse educator role in a specific context.

When we say we are nurse educators, the image that comes to mind for many is that of a nursing instructor in an undergraduate nursing program. The work that person is engaged in is teaching others how to be nurses. While that is certainly one aspect of the nurse educator role, the setting and the work may vary greatly. Some nurse educators, especially in university settings, will hold joint appointments as nursing faculty in a college of nursing and as clinicians in the university hospital. Other educators will work exclusively in a hospital or community setting, educating staff, patients, or community. Regardless of the setting, the role of educator encompasses more than teaching; there is also an expectation for scholarship and for service.

In this tripartite role, faculty in universities and colleges are expected to teach, participate in scholarly activities, and participate in service, which is defined as activities contributing to the good of the community, university, or profession beyond one’s defined job description. Many health care institutions will also have similar expectations for nurses in upper-level positions.

By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria:

Competency 2: Analyze the tripartite role of teaching, service, and scholarship.
Describe a specific nurse educator role.
Analyze the teaching, service, and scholarship expectations for a chosen nurse educator role.
Competency 5: Articulate how nurse educators serve as change agents and leaders to help advance nursing education and nursing practice.
Analyze qualifications in a chosen nurse educator role that facilitate being a change agent.
Competency 6: Develop a plan for engaging in scholarship in an established area of expertise.
Explain opportunities for scholarship related to a specific area of expertise.
Competency 7: Establish a plan for pursuing continuous improvement in the nurse educator role.
Generate a plan for meeting each aspect of the tripartite model.
Competency 8: Communicate in a manner that is scholarly, professional, and consistent with the expectations for a nursing education professional.
Write coherently to support a central idea with correct grammar, usage, mechanics, and APA format and style as expected of a nursing education professional.
Create a short (approximately 2 pages) plan reflecting on how the three aspects of the tripartite model of teaching, service, and scholarship could be met for a particular nurse educator position in a context of interest to you.
