Abstract

Because of current structure, content, and outcomes of master's nursing curricula, administrators responsible for hiring nurse educators often have no choice but to employ clinical experts as teachers. This article reports on the results of an investigation designed to ascertain the self-reported learning needs of nurse educators in a southern state. This investigation confirmed that nurse educators have numerous learning needs specific to fulfillment of the nurse educator role. Findings suggest that learning needs differed according to the educator's level of academic preparation and type of employment setting. The results provide useful insights for individuals planning continuing educational offerings for nurse educators with varied backgrounds.
