Challenges of a Novice Nurse Educator's Transition From Practice to ClassroomBrown, Tori 01 January 2015 (has links)
This project study addressed the lack of formal preparation encountered by novice nurse educators within a nursing program located in the southeastern region of North Carolina. This problem is significant at both the local and national levels because expert clinicians are needed to fill nurse educator vacancies that have led to qualified students being denied admission to nursing programs. A qualitative case study research design was employed to explore the perceptions of novice nurse educators in one nursing program transitioning from clinical nursing practice to the nurse educator role. The theoretical framework to guide this study was Benner's novice to expert model that outlines the journey of how novice nurse educators transition into an educator role. Guiding research questions focused on understanding the motives, challenges, positives experiences, and perceptions of support that novice nurse educators encountered during transition from clinical practice to academia. Purposeful sampling was used to recruit 7 novice nurse educators within an associate degree nursing program. Data collection included interviews with novice nurse educators, review of a 2012 self-study report, and demographic characteristics of participants. Interviews were transcribed verbatim, coded, and analyzed to identify themes. Five themes were identified: (a) work is always with you, (b) teaching in the dark, (c) making a difference, (d) a shoulder to lean on, and (e) more structure/mentoring. Findings indicated the need for a mentorship/orientation program, which was developed to assist in role transition for novice nurse educators. Implications could contribute to a positive social change by helping clinicians to transition effectively to meet society's need for qualified nurse educators.

The novice nurse educator's lecture room instructional management competenceDürrheim, Maria, 1949- 06 1900 (has links)
The lecture room instructional management competence of novice nurse educators (NNEs) in the
Republic of South Africa (RSA) was investigated. No comprehensive set of generic roles,
outcomes and competences for instructional management of nurse educators could be traced in
the literature, therefore an analytical study was undertaken. Adhering to the principles for
outcomes-based education, three models were established:
Q a model for the professional development of nurse educators
Q an Education, Training and Development nurse practitioner model, consisting of roles
and outcomes for lecture room instructional management
Q a model for lecture room instructional management that served as evaluation criteria
used in the instrument during the quantitative survey
These models were presented to, and evaluated by nurse educators of five universities.
The influence of mentorship, reality shock, and professional development on the NNEs' lecture
room competence was investigated. The target group consisted of NNEs, their mentors and
students in nursing schools in the RSA. A number of respondents were also interviewed and
observed. The analysed data indicated that NNEs were not competent when they started teaching,
and needed support and supervision from mentors. Findings also indicated the positive influence
of mentorship and professional development on competence acquisition. NNEs experienced
reality shock requiring support to acquire competence. These aspects justify further research.
The recommendations based on this study include that nursing schools use specific evaluation
criteria for le<,1ure room competence and for in-service training of NNEs and mentors. Nursing
schools should take a more active role in mentoring programmes. / Health Studies / D. Litt. et Phil. (Advanced Nursing Sciences)
