What NURS 767 covers
The textbook is Oermann, De Gagne and Phillips's Teaching in Nursing and Role of the Educator, read across all eight modules with one recorded presentation each module/week. Practicum hours are logged in Typhon, and the approved goals and objectives go to the preceptor before hours begin.
Each of the five written assignments runs about five pages with enough sources to answer its questions. The clinical faculty role development paper runs seven to ten pages with at least five references beyond the textbooks and the Bible, and the three practicum logs must apply the NLN competencies and the readings analytically.
In this course, students will engage in the development of classroom, laboratory, and clinical teaching assignments in nursing. Students will integrate philosophical foundations, educational theory, and nursing knowledge to promote active learning.

Where NURS 767 papers lose points
Work in NURS 767 loses points when practicum objectives cannot be measured, when logs describe what happened without analyzing it against the NLN competencies, when teaching plans ignore how students learn and when the clinical faculty paper describes the role in general instead of the writer's own development in it.
Using a NURS 767 sample well
The samples keep one placement and one topic, postpartum hemorrhage, across the term, so a reader can watch the same content move from a classroom to a simulation lab to a hospital unit and see how the educator's role changes in each. Your own placement will differ; borrow the method of linking every log entry to a competency.
