The role transition between clinical practice to nursing faculty can be one of the most rewarding, yet confusing changes in a nursing career. Many novice faculty have questions about the academic environment, role expectations, teaching approaches, clinical supervision, and evaluation of students. This intensive 2-day workshop is designed to help new faculty increase their understanding of the faculty role and give faculty mentors methods for facilitating the transition. New clinical and classroom faculty and clinical nurses interested in becoming educators will benefit.
Presentations, discussion, questions, and interactive exercises will help participants refine practical strategies to use with students.
