Create a two-page plan addressing the scholarship, service, and teaching elements of a specific nurse educator role in a specific context.
For nursing faculty in colleges and universities, promotion and tenure will be partially determined by meeting expectations in all three areas:
· Teaching.
· Service.
· Scholarship.
As you prepare to complete this assessment, you may want to think about other related issues to deepen your understanding or broaden your viewpoint. You are encouraged to consider the questions below and discuss them with a fellow learner, a work associate, an interested friend, or a member of your professional community.
Note that these questions are for your own development and exploration and do not need to be completed or submitted as part of your assessment.
· How do the scholarship, teaching, and service interrelate in a nurse educator’s career? How do they contribute to the nurse educator’s skills?
· Why are orientation and mentoring important for new nurse educators?
· What is your understanding of tenure in the academic nurse educator role?
Format: 12-point Times New Roman or Arial font, double spaced in Microsoft Word.
Length: Approximately two pages plus a title page and a references page.
Use correct APA format, including page numbers and a title page. Citations and references (if used) are to be in correct APA format.
Writing should be free of grammar and spelling errors that distract from content.
