Greetings Everyone;
I am a nurse educator (Assistant Professor) for a BSN program in Ohio. I have been teaching there approximately 4 years. I am a diploma graduate who returned for a BSN and then an MSN with speciality in education. My areas of teaching are Fundamentals (Assessment), Critical Care, Emerging Issues and Introduction to Nursing. Additionally, I work contingent at a Level I Trauma Center on an Intermediate Care Unit. I look forward to stimulating posts in this forum.

May I ask where you are working on the PhD in Clinical Heath Sciences. I am currently looking for a doctoral program (online) in education. However, I would prefer a program in a health related field. Thanks

((MilesRN)) May I ask where you are in Ohio? My husband is from the Dayton/Cincinnati area and we are going there next month for a memorial service for his mom. Where in Ohio do you teach? I am an associate grad who went back and got BSN, MSN and teach adult med-surg nursing at a private Catholic ASN school just outside Boston. My office partner teaches the first course, Fundamentals- and my hat is off to you! Patience patience patience required! This is a good blog, hope you find it helpful!

I am a nurse educator in Texas. I teach in an LVN program. I love it. In fact it is the LVN program I attended 20 years ago...

Is there any room on this forum for us "workplace nurse educators"?I manage eLearning & Clinical Development (including PBDS) for a large healthcare system.

We certainly share a lot of challenges with the academic world but we have some unique areas of concern - such as acculturation and competency development of foreign nurses; compliance with EEOC/Employment law; shrinking availability of learners due to tighter labor budgets; etc, etc.

Hello everyone, I am relatively new to the site. I just completed my MSN and have applied for my first nurse educator job at the ADN level. I am so nervous about the interview questions that will be asked. I have been a clinical instructor for the last two years for a ADN program. What kind of questions will I be asked during the interview? Help!!

[oncnursemsn]

First, congratulations and welcome to nursing education. I've been an ADN lecturer and clinical faculty for almost 7 years, and I love it!
Relax, you have nursing experience and you've been a clinical instructor- which is how I started too. (Don't mean to give you artificial confidence, but there is a huge nsg faculty shortage, and they are probably so grateful to have someone with your experience. They know you- you have a track record and they wouldn't be interested in hiring you for theory if they didn't know your qualifications.)
That being said, you might want to bring some samples of your writing, or inservices or lectures you've written and given. They will also want o know your teaching style, how you deal with difficult or challenging students, conflict resolution- stuff like that.
I remember being asked about my perspective towards nursing education- they want to know that you will be supportive of your students, yet expect them to hold the same high standards for care that the institution does. Do some research on your school- what is their philosophy? I teach at a small previously girls Catholic school- so Christian principles are inherent in our curriculum- though we take faculty and students not Christian. Look them up on the web and see what the school advertises as it's "selling points". Our school is small, so we provide an "intimate learning experience with small classes."
These are just a few suggestions that come to mind quickly- I hope other faculty will chime in with suggestions.
((((Welcome and good luck, you'll be fine! ))))))

I am embarking on a brand new phase of nursing. I have accepted a position as an LPN instructor for adults in a BOCES program. I start in July. I am literally "jumping" in to this ! Any words of wisdom will be helpful.
Thanks.
