Reflective thoughts from participants of the Full-Time Nurse Faculty Preparation Course

This program was excellent. I now have an "overview and all-encompassing view" of what a faculty member does and the role. I have a much better knowledge base of how to teach students and how to take care of myself and become a better leader in education.  This course gave me the tools and the course teachers have been great with their feedback. I now can see how the role of faculty member is so much more than just teaching.

I did a lot more reflection on my teaching after the course. . . and based on my reflection I made some changes, and those changes were for the better, especially for the students.

I felt more accountable.  "Was this the best teaching strategy?" "Could I have done something different to impact the learning outcome?"

I was more open to using new teaching strategies.  That was exciting!

Sometimes when you are teaching for a while, you start to question the methodologies. After taking the course, it was nice to have that validation of "doing it right".

I began the academic year very overwhelmed by the workload ahead of me, but I utilized information from this course to help me create relationships with my colleagues and develop a  strong relationship with my mentor at the university. This helped me really look at what my responsibilities were as a whole, break down the courses I needed to create, develop learning outcomes for each one, and then develop my class activities respectively.

Excellent course! Instructors were great. Excellent content. Very satisfied

The Full-time Nurse Faculty Prep Course is well-structured and covers relevant topics for transitioning into an educator role. I find the content effective and beneficial as it is   . . . it's a great course that I appreciate

I have learned so much thus far. I love the flexibility and appreciate as a fulltime employer that I can access this course anytime to catch up on work with a deadline of course. Thank you for all you do!

Testimonials from Employers

This is a wonderful opportunity to help new employees prepare for the faculty role. I loved that they had coaching to help them with specific situations. It was helpful to have the course outside of our university to help the new faculty feel more open to share and discuss.

This course provided the faculty member with the theoretical knowledge to support her role as a nursing faculty member.

This gave the new faculty confidence and the ability to navigate a new role

​The faculty spoke very highly of the wealth of information, opportunities to apply this learning in our context, and were extremely satisfied with the course.
