DNP 836 Scope of Practice for Nurse Educator Worksheet
Use the “Scope of Practice Graphic Organizer Template” to complete this assignment. Review the National League for Nursing Educator (NLN) Nurse Educator Competencies (2012) in the Teaching in Nursing: A Guide for Faculty textbook. In the graphic organizer, define each of the eight competencies and describe how they relate to the nurse educator’s scope of practice. Explain how you might apply each of the eight competencies in your practice and identify challenges to that application in either the clinical or academic setting.
While APA style is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and documentation of sources should be presented using APA formatting guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.
This assignment uses a rubric. Please review the rubric prior to beginning the assignment to become familiar with the expectations for successful completion.
Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.
Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.
The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
