Assignment: Capella FP6103 Assessment 1
Write a 2-page article about the history of and trends in nursing and nursing education.
The role of the nurse educator has expanded with the times and moved beyond the faculty role in basic nursing education programs. Nurse educators are also staff development specialists, clinical nurse educators, nurse navigators, patient educators, researchers, and community health educators to name a few of the many options available. A multitude of forces beyond our control, including economic and political forces, may shape our profession of nursing. As nurse educators, however, it is our work to provide the educational foundations needed for patient care, for improved health status for all and for a well-prepared workforce of nurses.

Capella FP6103 Assessment 2
Create a 2-page plan addressing the scholarship, service, and teaching elements of a specific nurse educator role in a specific context.
When we say we are nurse educators, the image that comes to mind for many is that of a nursing instructor in an undergraduate nursing program. The work that person is engaged in is teaching others how to be nurses. While that is certainly one aspect of the nurse educator role, the setting and the work may vary greatly. Some nurse educators, especially in university settings, will hold joint appointments as nursing faculty in a college of nursing and as clinicians in the university hospital. Other educators will work exclusively in a hospital or community setting, educating staff, patients, or community. Regardless of the setting, the role of educator encompasses more than teaching; there is also an expectation for scholarship and for service.
In this tripartite role, faculty in universities and colleges are expected to teach, participate in scholarly activities, and participate in service, which is defined as activities contributing to the good of the community, university, or profession beyond one’s defined job description. Many health care institutions will also have similar expectations for nurses in upper-level positions.
By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria:
Competency 2: Analyze the tripartite role of teaching, service, and scholarship.
Describe a specific nurse educator role.
Analyze the teaching, service, and scholarship expectations for a chosen nurse educator role.
Competency 5: Articulate how nurse educators serve as change agents and leaders to help advance nursing education and nursing practice.
Analyze qualifications in a chosen nurse educator role that facilitate being a change agent.
Competency 6: Develop a plan for engaging in scholarship in an established area of expertise.
Explain opportunities for scholarship related to a specific area of expertise.
Competency 7: Establish a plan for pursuing continuous improvement in the nurse educator role.
Generate a plan for meeting each aspect of the tripartite model.
Competency 8: Communicate in a manner that is scholarly, professional, and consistent with the expectations for a nursing education professional.
Write coherently to support a central idea with correct grammar, usage, mechanics, and APA format and style as expected of a nursing education professional. Assignment: Capella FP6103 Assessment 1
Create a short (approximately 2 pages) plan reflecting on how the three aspects of the tripartite model of teaching, service, and scholarship could be met for a particular nurse educator position in a context of interest to you.

Capella FP6103 assessment 3
Write a 3–5-page nurse educator philosophy.
As nurses, we develop our own philosophy about our role as a nurse. For some, it is steeped in the tradition of the nursing program we attended. For most of us, our philosophy has evolved over time, as we gain experience and develop specializations. We may not always articulate a clear philosophy, but each nurse does have a system of beliefs and values about health, health care, nursing, and his or her role as a nurse that guides practice. By developing a philosophy specific to the role of nurse educator, you will be able to reflect upon your individual values and beliefs, values and beliefs about nursing, and the educator role that each person is preparing for.
By successfully completing this assessment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies and assessment criteria:
Competency 1: Analyze the historical evolution of nursing education.
Analyze the influence of historical events on a nurse educator role.

For this assessment, develop your own nurse educator philosophy statement. Identify your beliefs and values regarding the adult learner, learning environment, and teaching strategies and applicable learning theories that you will use as an educator. Address how this philosophy will guide you in the tripartite roles of a nurse educator—how it will guide your teaching, scholarship, and service. Support your philosophy with your knowledge of historical events that are pertinent to your work. In addition, identify the competencies that you see as critical to your role.
In sum, your philosophy statement should guide your practice as a nurse educator.
Your educator philosophy statement should do the following:
Identify the area of nursing education or the area in health care in which you will apply your MSN, education specialization skills, and knowledge.
Formulate your nurse educator philosophy statement, which should comprise your beliefs and values regarding the adult learner, learning environment, and teaching strategies and applicable learning theories that you will use as an educator.
Apply your philosophy statement to each of the tripartite roles of the nurse educator. What does your philosophy mean for your approach to teaching, scholarship, and service? As you discuss the role of teacher, be sure to address any theories (adult learning theory, learner-center education, and others) that shape your approach as an educator.
Analyze the relationship of significant historical events that have shaped the role you seek to fill.
Analyze the most essential nurse educator competencies necessary for this MSN-prepared nurse educator. Explain why you selected the competencies you did.
Conclude with a summary.

Capella FP6103 assessment 5
Create a 12–20-slide PowerPoint presentation for teaching a legal or ethical issue pertinent to nurse educators.
As nurses we are all, no doubt, very aware of the myriad of legal and ethical issues in any health care setting. We are familiar with licensing for health care professionals, perhaps, carry our own malpractice insurance, and have been cautioned by our employing institutions to always follow policy and procedures. Nursing education is no different; there are specific legal and ethical issues that are of concern to nurse educators.
Additionally, nurse educators are often called upon to teach others about specific legal and ethical issues. This can create an interesting balance between adhering to the legal and ethical responsibility of the nurse educator’s role, while also providing enough context and real-world evidence to help assist others in learning about specific legal and ethical issues.
