NUR 211 Educational Theories and Principles in Nursing and the Nurse Educator Role

This course is designed to prepare students for the advanced professional role as nurse educators in various settings (e.g., academic setting, staff development, nurse counselor, and clinical nurse educator).  Understanding the nurse educator role stemming from NLN and ANPD educator competencies as well as the ANA standards while utilizing various teaching techniques and strategies to assist the education of staff, students, healthcare professionals, clients, and communities of interest is a primary focus of this course. In the role of nursing educator, students will learn how to influence changes in how the client perceives health and his/her ability to seek information to reach optimal health. 

Assignments successfully completed in this course will serve as a foundation for additional coursework in subsequent Nurse Educator track courses particularly NUR 214.
