Abstract
Nurse anesthesia clinical educators bridge didactic content and clinical practice. A sample of 99 nurse anesthesia clinical educators completed the Academic Clinical Nurse Educator Skill Acquisition Tool (ACNESAT) to assess their skill acquisition and ACNESAT psychometric properties. Participants reported extreme confidence ( M = 170.07, SD = 22.31) overall; highest confidence with Ensures Safe Care is Delivered by Learners in the Clinical Setting ( M = 4.55, SD = 0.627) and lowest with Applies Theory to Clinical Practice ( M = 4.01, SD = 0.942). Academic leaders can utilize the ACNESAT to support role development and excellence among clinical educators.
