Nurse Educator Professional e-Portfolio

Professional e-Portfolio
Assessment Description
The purpose of this assignment is for the nursing education learner to have a forum to showcase personal achievements and to demonstrate current qualifications in preparation for certification as a nurse educator or in seeking a position as a nurse educator.
There is no one right way to create a professional portfolio. Organizations that utilize this format for clinical advancement or peer review may have a standard format that is to be followed for submission. Organizations may also require a portfolio as part of a job application. These may or may not have specific formatting guidelines. Portfolios need to be created as e-portfolios using the FolioSpaces website provided in the topic Resources. The portfolio must contain the following pieces:
1. A teaching philosophy based on the knowledge and experience gained from this program which integrates Boyer's model of scholarship.
2. Updated resume/CV, license, and credentials.
3. A reference list with at least three references (one professional and two personal). In the reference list, include the contact information for each reference.
4. A summary of the National League for Nursing (NLN) eight competencies for nurse educators, describing your accomplishments in each of the eight areas.
Optional: Learners can include any items from the MSN-Ed program that represent a specific achievement related to the nurse educator role.
While APA format is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected and in-text citations and references should be presented using APA documentation 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.
You are not required to submit this assignment to LopesWrite.
