title: Novice nurse educators' lecture room instructional management competence.
abstract: The lecture room instructional management competence (LRIMC) of novice nurse educators (NNEs) in the Republic of South Africa (RSA) was investigated by means of a quantitative exploratory survey using questionnaires. The findings indicated that NNEs benefited from mentors' guidance, experienced reality shock on entering their first teaching situation, and lacked LRIMC--according to the perceptions of the NNEs themselves, their students and their mentors. NNEs could benefit from effective orientation programmes and from ongoing in-service education programmes as well as from the availability of mentors assigned to specific NNEs.
