It takes a unique set of characteristics to be an effective nurse educator. Having the expertise and knowledge to influence critical thinking while holding the soft skills to execute and deliver supportive and nurturing teaching takes a gentle yet powerful skilled nurse. Some of my fondest most memorable nursing experiences was while I was learning and in vulnerable situations. It takes very special individuals to educate and precept novice nurses in this type of environment. While consumer satisfaction is an important component of determining the effectiveness of the instructor and education other components need to be considered as well. Constructive criticism is essential in the learning process and when delivered appropriately and professionally provides the nursing student with feedback to improve in a positive manner.
