Wonderful! Thank you so much for your help.

We have really appreciated this program as a way to get our instructors some formal training and become better resources for our students.

Dear Dr. Knowles,

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.

 

                    Sincerely,

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)

I was able to complete the Clinical Nurse Instructor course, and it was indeed excellent. I enjoyed it and have already shared it with other professors about utilizing the prioritization video. I think this is a phenomenal idea and hope that we can implement it in our clinical objectives soon. 

Thanks again; it was wonderful-
