Description

ABSTRACT The nursing shortage presents a challenge for both nursing education programs and clinical agencies to identify creative options for increasing the supply of nurse educators, especially those who can teach vital clinical skills to future nurses. Some clinicians have voiced that they would enjoy having opportunities to share their clinical expertise through teaching, but they lack preparation for this new role. Through written narratives of nurses enrolled in a Clinical Nurse Educator Academy, this study explored the research question: How can narratives of clinicians participating in a Clinical Nurse Educator Academy enhance understanding of the unique perspectives of these individuals as they prepare for roles as clinical nurse educators? Data consisted of 135 reflective narratives from 45 participants and were analyzed using van Manen's approach to human science research. One overarching pattern, "The Phenomenon of Learning to Teach" and three themes, "Buckle Your Seatbelt," "Embracing the Novice," and "Mentoring in the Dark," emerged from the data. Implications for faculty and further research are offered. **********
