Making a smooth transition from clinician to educator.
Nurses can be very successful in the role of educator. Although the transition from clinician to educator has many real and potential conflicts, practical and effective tools exist to assist individual nurse-educators in this new professional endeavor. The swiftness with which they adjust to these new responsibilities is directly related to how quickly and accurately they can identify their own learning needs, develop an awareness of their role transition, and learn to use available resources.
