title: The nurse as an educator.
abstract: The rapidly changing healthcare system offers challenges and opportunities for nurse educators. Increasing evidence of health promotion/consumer empowerment, cost containment, increase in chronic illness, and the continued expansion of medical technology requires nurses with broad educational competencies. These competencies include preceptoring, patient education, and formal presentation skills. In this article, the authors describe the development and implementation of a multifaceted staff development curriculum designed to support the nurse as an educator.
