The SON offers degree programs and continuing education offerings designed to facilitate the achievement of competence in the nurse education role. Participants included 78 PhD graduates, students and adjunct faculty. The competencies outlined by the National League for Nursing (2005) were assessed using an established questionnaire with additional questions regarding examples of participant’s scholarly achievements. Significant findings indicated higher knowledge and skills for three of eight competencies, and significant association with certification as a nurse educator. This project provided evidence regarding perception of graduate students and novice nurse educators regarding their achievement of nurse educator competencies in order to develop curriculum that optimally prepares nurse educators for the demands of that role.  \nPURPOSE/BACKGROUND  \nThe shortage of qualified faculty to teach nursing at the baccalaureate or higher degree level is a challenge to nursing education and practice (AACN, 2017) . doctorally-prepared nurses often do not have sufficient coursework to achieve confidence in the educator role (Frenn & Dreifuerst, 2019) . Similarly, faculty with master’s preparation may not have had specific educational preparation for their role. he purpose of the study was to assess the perceptions of PhD prepared students and graduates, Nursing Education Certificate students, and faculty participants taking part in education courses regarding their educator competencies.  \nMETHODS  \nDesign. A non-experimental field study approach was used to conduct this study. The data collected was both quantitative and qualitative in nature.  \nInstrument. The Nurse Educator Self Evaluation (NESE) and researcher developed demographics form were used to gather data from participants. The NESE (Kalb, 2008) is a 66-item tool developed with permission from the NLN which is comprised of eight subscales corresponding to the eight Core Competencies from the National League for Nursing (2005) .  \nTask statements describing knowledge and skills in each competency area are self-evaluated using a 4 point Likert scale with 4 indicating Very knowledgeable and 1 indicated Not knowledgeable , and in the area of skills, 4 indicated Fully skilled, and 1 indicating No skills.  \nANALYSIS  \nThe data analysis proceeded in stages beginning with computation of the descriptive statistics and the distribution of the data for each variable. The second stage of the data analysis included an exploration of the associations among the study variables such as Paired t Tests or the Wilcoxon Matched Pairs Signed Rank Test to assess the NESE pre and post-test scores. Correlation Coefficients were used to measure the association between study variables and between study groups. A Type I error of five percent will be used for all tests of statistical significance and a priori comparisons unless otherwise indicated.  \nRESULTS  \n❑ Facilitating Learning-Highest Item Mean (Knowledge & Skills)  \n❑ Participate in Curriculum Design and Program Evaluation – Lowest Knowledge Mean  \n❑ Function within the Educational Environment – Lowest Skills Mean  \n❑ PhD Graduates rated their skills significantly higher than the Faculty at SON (non PhD)  \n❑ Possession of the CNE certification was significantly associated with length of time as a nurse educator and years of teaching experience  \n❑ CNE was positively associated with both reported knowledge and skills across the eight competencies  \n\n|  |  |  |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Core competency | Knowledge (Item Mean) | Skills (Item Mean) |\n| 1 Facilit","cbCail0rCgpMwNLh","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCail0rCgpMwNLh","pdf",768126,"English","# Abstract\n# Purpose/Background\n# Methods\n## Instrument\n# Analysis\n# Results\n# Conclusions\n# References","[{\"question\":\"What was the study purpose regarding nurse educator competencies?\",\"answer\":\"To evaluate how novice nurse educators and graduate participants perceived their achievement of nurse educator competencies, supporting curriculum development for the educator role.\"},{\"question\":\"How were competencies measured in the study?\",\"answer\":\"The study used the Nurse Educator Self Evaluation (NESE), a 66-item instrument with eight subscales aligned to NLN core competencies.\"},{\"question\":\"What key results were reported about knowledge, skills, and certification?\",\"answer\":\"Knowledge and skills were highest for facilitating learning and certain areas showed lower values.
