Educating Nurses

[LSHRN]

I have been a Practical Nursing Educator in a Community College in North Carolina since 1993 and the Lead Instructor/Program Director since 2003. In January, I began a Graduate Certificate in Nursing Education. It has been a challenge since I work full-time as Program Director, Theory Instructor and Clinical Instructor for a PN Program with an annual enrollment of 30. With all the changes being made in the educational standards, I wanted to join a forum where ideas can be exchanged and I stumbled upon this one. Hope to develop a network of colleagues for information and the sharing of ideas as we educate nurses to practice in the 21st century.
