NLN Preparation course for Certification as a Nurse Educator (CNE) Exam
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. This six hour workshop, co-sponsored with the Centennial Area Health Education Center,
is an intensive, comprehensive review of the major content areas of CNE test blueprint. It is designed to
help potential candidates assess their level of readiness and identify practice domains where further study
may be needed.
The National League for Nursing (NLN) and Villanova University have joined
forces to co-sponsor a unique program for faculty in schools of nursing. The
Institute will begin on a Saturday with a Welcome Reception/Get Together. Sunday
opens with a keynote presentation, followed by 3 1/2 days of intensive work –
combining presentations by experts with personal work by each participant.
Choose an area of focus from:
Critical Thinking: Defining, Promoting and
Measuring it;
Designing Innovative Curricula and
Effective Clinical
Teaching.
The format for the program will allow attendees to work with experts to produce
a tangible and useful product. Participants will be asked to write
personal objectives for the Institute and make a commitment to complete, or make
significant progress toward completing, a project during the week. Visit the
