In this clinical course, students will focus on the application of the multidimensional aspects of the advanced role of the nurse educator built upon the foundation of current literature and research related to the science of nursing education. Dimensions of the advanced role of the nurse educator in teaching patients and families, student nurses and providers across the continuum of care will be explored in the direct and indirect care setting. Emphasis will be placed on the application of advanced pathophysiology, advanced assessment and advanced pharmacology in the assessment and evaluation of direct care in advanced nursing.
