Nurse educators are responsible for creating an environment in classroom, laboratory, and clinical settings that facilitate student learning and the achievement of desired cognitive, affective, and psychomotor outcomes. Recognizing their responsibility for helping students develop as nurses, Nurse Educators integrate the values and behaviors expected of those who fulfill that role by utilizing a variety of strategies to assess and evaluate student learning. Nurse educators also formulate program outcomes, design curricula that reflect contemporary health care trends, prepare graduates to function effectively in the health care environment as well as create a preferred future for nursing education and nursing practice all the while staying knowledgeable about the educational environment within which they practice and recognize how political, institutional, social and economic forces impact their role.
