Abstract
Session presented on Friday, April 8, 2016:
Globally, nursing programs partner with healthcare institutions such as hospitals to provide practice settings for baccalaureate nursing students. In one model, full time faculty or adjunct faculty are employed by academic institutions to teach in the clinical setting. In another model, the healthcare institution such as a hospital provides nurses to function as the clinical instructor. With the nursing faculty shortage in the USA and across the globe, an approach to transforming practice may be to decrease the need for full time faculty employed by the academic setting to teach clinicals and rely more on healthcare institution partners to provide experienced nurses who work in the setting to teach the clinicals. This transformation in practice leads to the question, does the clinical educator's work role perspective differ based on the partnership framework under which the instructor is employed (i.e., primary employer is an educational institution versus health facility)? Purpose: To develop a tool to measure clinical educator perspectives of work roles and compare educator perspectives based on primary employer, hospital-based facility compared to university-based facility.
