Teaching Tomorrow's Nurses Today
The growth of the aging population and increasingly sophisticated patient-care technology continue to drive the country’s need for more nurses. The U.S. faces a significant nursing and nurse educator shortage. Why? Quite simply, there are not enough nurse educators to meet the growing numbers of applicants in nursing programs.
The goal of this course is to provide nurses working in acute care facilities with information about the roles of the nurse educator, and how educators can best meet the learning needs of student nurses.
