As a nursing instructor, I take in to account the various backgrounds and experiences of my students as well as their individual needs. Nursing instructors must be firm, fair, and effective in that the training one provides must meet a standard of care that exhibits both compassion and competence. Along with providing guidance on evidence-based practices, policies, and procedures, nurse educators must be professional, knowledgeable, committed, and skilled so that students can see the parallel among one’s actions and attitudes.
