Abstract
Successful nurse educators make a profound impact on their students, their workplaces, their communities, and the profession. The wisdom they impart can prevent complications, save money, and save lives, both today and for years to come. What does it take to become the best of the best in nursing education? Is it the powerful presentations, the clinical expertise, the publications and research funding? Are all of these skills required to be successful as a nurse educator? How do these expectations vary across the global regions of Sigma Theta Tau? What is the role of collaboration, partnerships, and networks?
In this session, sponsored by the Center for Excellence in Nursing Education, we will share our observations and unwrap the strategies and secrets used by highly successful nurse educators around the globe. Join in the discussion to share your insights regarding - what makes an educator successful? Is one type of educational preparation better than others? Are successful educators a product of successful academic environments? What role does mentorship play? What techniques and interpersonal skills are most important? How should we measure the impact and outcomes of successful nurse educators?
We will explore the attributes of the most successful nurse educators and strategies for developing those attributes. The session will include a description of the programs and resources available through Sigma Theta Tau and the Center for Excellence in Nursing Education. These programs include: The Faculty Knowledge Skills Development Program, The Faculty Professional Role Development Program, The Nurse Faculty Leadership Academy, The Experienced Nurse Faculty Leadership Academy, and The Emerging Educational Administrator Institute. Finally, we will share recommendations for finding your niche, targeting the right audience, expanding your influence, and making an impact that will last beyond your years. The best nurse educators leave a legacy for their students and their profession. This session will challenge participants to take the next step in developing a legacy of their own.

Successful nurse educators make a profound impact on their students, their workplaces, their communities, and the profession.
