Nursing Practice Educators (NPE)

The Nursing Practice Educator (NPE) plays a vital role in supporting the clinical education of undergraduate nursing students. Working closely with the Course Lead and the Associate Director of Undergraduate Programs, the NPE helps plan, implement, and evaluate the clinical components of the nursing curriculum.

NPEs facilitate student learning in both clinical practice settings and skills labs, fostering critical thinking, sound judgment, and the development of core nursing competencies. They supervise students in hospitals or community health settings, assess skill levels, provide hands-on teaching, and ensure clinical performance aligns with professional standards. In addition to direct supervision, NPEs contribute to course activities such as grading, lectures, and orientation sessions, and actively participate in team-based planning and evaluation.
