Then answer the following:
Based upon the readings:

2. After reviewing the topics and the syllabus, what skills would you like to develop or improve in this course?
3. After learning a little more about the roles of faculty in nursing education, what excites you the most about your transition into this profession? What concerns you the most?
3. What is your response to Benner’s thoughts about the “crisis” in nursing education and the vision forward?
5. Compare Benner’s vision for change with the AACN white paper. Benner wrote in 2010 and the AACN White Paper was developed in 2019 – what similarities are there related to nursing education and what differences exist between the two?
