CNE ® Academic Nurse Educator
The establishment of the academic nurse educator certification aimed to designate nursing education as a specialized field of practice and offer a platform for faculty to showcase their proficiency in this capacity. Academic nurse educators undertake diverse responsibilities and functions, which may vary depending on factors such as the institution's mission, the educator's position, their educational background, and the nature of the program they are involved in. Nursing education occurs across various settings, including technical schools, hospitals, community colleges, four-year institutions, and universities.
Certification in any field is a mark of professionalism. For academic nurse educators, it establishes nursing education as a specialty area of practice and creates a means for faculty to demonstrate their expertise in this role. It communicates to students, peers and the academic and health care communities that the highest standards of excellence are being met. By becoming credentialed as a certified nurse educator, you serve as a leader and a role model. Certification is the mark of distinction for nursing faculty.
