Did you meet your goal? Why or why not?

Nurse educators must have the knowledge and skillset to function effectively in their role. One of the goals that I have met is collaborating with other professionals to propose changes in nursing education. By considering the current trends in nursing education, I have managed to propose strategies to curb the challenge of faculty shortage and the increasing needs of the students. I have managed to align my philosophy with the organization and work with colleagues to improve teaching in the organization.

Reflect on Competency 8, analyzing your practicum experiences: Be sure to connect your experiences directly to the competency.
Reflection: Functioning effectively as a nurse educator requires one to be knowledgeable about the history, culture, and current trends in nursing education. The nurse educator should ensure their philosophy is well aligned with the organizational mission and values to function effectively. Through collaborative practice, I have managed to reach out to important members of the profession and proposed changes that can improve the future of nursing education. I believe functioning well in the organization is a continuous process that requires focus, education, professional growth, and effective collaboration.
