THE CLINICAL INSTRUCTOR NURSE EDUCATOR COURSE OUTLINE
Many nurses are hired into clinical instructor or nurse educator roles without the benefit of foundational
education instruction and are expected to hit the ground running. The Clinical Instructor Nurse Educator
Course is intended to give new nurse educators a toolbox of knowledge, skills and abilities. This will
assist the nurse educator to operationalize learning objectives into meaningful scenarios for learners
and follow up with the appropriate evaluation. This knowledge and ability can be adapted to clinical
situations, simulation and laboratory settings and into the practice area of the clinical nurse educator.
Participants will be able to use these techniques to engage, evaluate and be effective in the educator
role.


demonstrate an understanding of foundational educational practices
