the “check your knowledge quizzes.”

“I appreciated the integration of reflective journals into the design of the program.”

“real-life examples of interactions between Clinical Nursing Instructors and students.”

“I liked that it was self-paced and that the modules were fairly short. So, you could kind of break it up as it was convenient for you.”

“A worksheet for making notes of the things you want to implement, take-home points.”

"helped me organize what I’m going to do. It gave me a very positive outlook, so that I’m not shying away from stepping into a clinical situation with students.

I feel much better prepared.”

This was a great course! I just completed my MSN focus in Clinical Leadership Education, which lasted 5 semesters. This course was a great review of all the content I learned over the past 1.5 years. It covered all the basics to help a clinical nurse transition into the role of a clinical educator for nursing students. Overall, I want to commend you for putting on a great online course. Love the variety of reading material, videos, and resources throughout this course. 12/2025

Thank you for this comprehensive course. I appreciate your immediate attention and feedback. Thank you, also, for the membership for a year. I have ordered the two books you recommended. I will recommend this course to my peers and our Department Chair to provide this instruction for our adjunct clinical faculty. (12/2023)

I just completed and am delighted with the Academic Clinical Nursing Instructor Program developed and hosted by Dr. Susan Knowles, DNP. This course provides us with the academic literature and background, giving us a solid foundation for teaching a clinical nursing course. This course is very good at qualifying new nursing instructors for their clinical roles. I especially appreciated the comparison of expert nurses with new clinical instructors. I am recommending this course to all my new faculty and encouraging all my experienced faculty members to use the program to promote authoritative, reliable nursing education. (11/2022)
