NURS 838D Becoming a Nurse Educator: Skills and Strategies Fellowship

This course advances the development of students' nursing education competencies in the theories, concepts, principles, and practices of curriculum design and development, teaching/learning methods, and/or assessment, evaluation, and testing. Students will have a nurse educator mentor and engage in academic leadership experiences. They will also select nursing education competencies to further develop, creating practical applications for them in a nursing education setting through tailor-made fellowships with expert nurse educators. While the emphasis of the course is on academic nursing practice, the role of the nurse as patient and staff educator also is explored.
