In An Educator’s Guide to Humanizing Nursing Education, the authors reflect on the nurse educator role and guide nurse educators to use caring values, attitudes, and behaviors as the basis for success in all teacher student interactions.
This book applies human caring to the role of educator to stop the dehumanizing practices in nursing education, such as uncaring behaviors, unethical attitudes, incivility, harassment, bullying, and horizontal and lateral violence. In each chapter, the authors ask the reader to reflect on their way of being and caring as an educator and to seek an alternative way of teaching from the heart as an act of caring.
Although An Educator’s Guide to Humanizing Nursing Education focuses on academic
educators, the concepts and exercises translate to hospital based nursing professional development and may help with the onboarding of new staff. Each chapter addresses different aspects of bringing caring to teaching and provides exercises for self reflection. Case examples in each chapter bring the concepts of caring to life by exploring the effects of caring values, attitudes, and behaviors or the lack of them.
This book is a wonderful gift to the profession of nursing education; it provides a space and road map to develop a more caring teacher student dynamic.
Amid a pandemic, with its risks of moral injury and posttraumatic stress for health care workers, we need more caring and humanistic approaches to educating nurses. This book offers nurse educators a path for reflection and strategies to create a more compassionate approach to education.
