Nurse Educators serve as instructors, mentors and role models for prospective and current nurses. They work with other faculty at post-secondary educational institutions or management at hospitals, long-term care facilities and other healthcare institutions to establish learning goals and develop curriculum to achieve them. In classroom settings, Nurse Educators carry out lesson plans. To deepen students’ understanding of the topics covered, they give assignments and exams and then evaluate students’ work. Some Nurse Educators also work in clinical settings, directly supervising nursing students or newly hired nurses and providing guidance and feedback as they carry out tasks.
