As a future nurse educator, your understanding of the National League of Nursing (NLN) will be very important as you are nearing the end of your program at Grand Canyon University (GCU). As a result, please go to the NLN website listed below and read the eight NLN Core Competencies that all nurse educators should possess:
http://www.nln.org/professional-development-programs/competencies-for-nursing-education/nurse-educator-core-competency.
Read Chapter 2 in Nurse Educator Competencies: Creating an Evidence-Based Practice for Nurse Educators. Then, reflect on Competency 1: Facilitate Learning and the associated behaviors as they relate to your practicum experience. Lastly, describe the ways in which you are either meeting, have met, or will meet Competency 1 in your practicum. What are there facilitative behaviors that you have not thought about, but need to include in your teaching repertoire? I will be in a hospital setting and I am new in the field.
