The Educator's Corner column provides an opportunity to share information and thoughts on a wide variety of topics appropriate for clinical nurse specialist (CNS) graduate education. Therefore, I invite readers to submit best practices, innovative methodologies, lessons learned, insights, and/or tips for teaching and learning in academic and clinical settings. You can submit a full manuscript or a shorter commentary. Manuscripts may be related to any area of specialty education, curricular innovations, or the scholarship of teaching and learning. Original research, case studies, descriptive reports, literature reviews, and quality improvement and evidence-based reports are all appropriate methods to demonstrate the structure, process, and outcomes of CNS education.
I would also welcome brief submissions that I could weave into "Tips" or lessons-learned-type of column; depending on the amount of material used in the column, contributors would either be acknowledged within the piece or invited to be coauthors. I am planning a series of columns on Technology and Teaching, so I am very interested in learning how you use technology in graduate education, professional development (of faculty and students), and at the point-of-care. Submit your manuscript to the Clinical Nurse Specialist Online Submission and Review System (http://www.editorialmanager.com/cns) and request that your submission be assigned to me. Let us share the wealth of knowledge and expertise we have with the rest of the CNS education community!
