Abstract
The nurse educator’s role, whether in academia or a health care environment, is critical to shaping the future of nursing practice as they educate, mentor, and promote professionalism in students and staff nurses. The nursing educator is continually challenged to provide current and consistent content with evidence-based practice in an ever-evolving, complex health care environment. When developing a course, it is essential for nurse educators in an academic institution or health care facility to consider the needs of the learners in the course. Nurse educators must incorporate learning theories that best align with learning styles and teaching strategies to promote desired outcomes for students. It is essential to include both formative and summative evaluation methods to accurately measure attainment of overall learning outcomes.
