At a time when nurses identify educational opportunities as an essential element of the health-care work environment, becoming an on-site evaluator for the accreditation process of the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE) offers unique opportunities for professional development. Nurses who are on-site evaluators bring first-hand practice experience as well as knowledge of evolving health-care and organizational trends to the accreditation process. In return, they find positive learning experiences, acquire insight into academic nursing education, and develop enthusiasm for academic teaching-a winning combination in this era of national nursing faculty shortage. This article describes the CCNE's process for incorporating nurses from clinical practice into accreditation activities and discusses the potential benefit of the process to the CCNE, nurses, and academic nursing programs.
在护士将教育机会视为医疗保健工作环境的重要组成部分之际,成为美国高校护理教育委员会(CCNE)认证过程的现场评估员为职业发展提供了独特机遇。担任现场评估员的护士将第一手实践经验以及不断演变的医疗保健和组织趋势知识带入认证过程。作为回报,他们能获得积极的学习体验,深入了解学术护理教育,并培养对学术教学的热情——在这个全国护理师资短缺的时代,这是一个双赢的组合。本文描述了CCNE将临床实践护士纳入认证活动的过程,并讨论了该过程对CCNE、护士和学术护理项目的潜在益处。
