Nurse Educators

We as nurse educators aim to prepare nursing students and new nurses for their roles as clinical nurses.  We use the Benner's Novice to Expert theory to develop these nurses.  It takes a great deal of learning and practice to get from the novice to the expert.  We all started as novice nurses after graduation from nursing school.  The following link gives the information about the Novice to Expert theory.

  1. I am interested in Benner's theory of Novice to Expert. I looked for sites that would help nurses increase their knowledge base to get from Novice to Expert.

    I found the 6 second EKG and the ABG websites. They both help nurses practice information that they need to increase their knowledge base.

    I selected both sites because they were both easy to use and interesting.
