“…The literature highlights the complex and multidimensional role of clinical nurse educators in nursing programs. This may be because they need to focus on individual student's learning needs as well as on the multidisciplinary team and patient care [10]. Because of the complexities of this role, it has been proposed that clinical educators require a formal education program, and various online courses are available [11].…”

Clinical Nurse Instructor Competencies: An Exploratory Study of Role Requirements

“…This definition effectively articulates the CI role for the purpose of this study. Many authors have outlined the complex and multidimensional role that CIs perform in nursing programs: they socialize students to the nursing profession, link classroom theory to practice, and shape the clinical learning experiences to ensure they meet provincial entry to practice competencies (Arnold & Boggs, 2016;Dahlke et al, 2012;Jennings & Brett, 2018;Oermann, 2015;World Health Organization [WHO], 2016). To fulfill the role expectations, they must have knowledge of professional nursing standards and current clinical practices, understand and apply theories and principles of adult education, guide the students who require more support while offering more challenging opportunities to students who are excelling (Oermann, 2015;Zabat Kan & Stabler-Haas, 2014), and evaluate student nurses' application of knowledge to practice (Arnold & Boggs, 2016;CASN, 2015;WHO, 2016;Zabat Kan & Stabler-Haas, 2014).…”

CIs need to focus not only on individual student's learning needs but also on the learning needs of the group and the care provided to patients (Jennings & Brett, 2018). They are required to be adept at working with the different informatics systems (e.g., learning management system, electronic medical records) at the nursing school and in the practice settings (CASN, 2013;Gazza & Shellenbarger, 2005;Pilarski, 2011).…”
