Nurse Teacher

A Nurse Teacher (NT) is a highly experienced, registered nurse who uses their knowledge, skills and expertise to provide clinical education and professional development to nursing students and nursing staff. NT's work within a variety of healthcare settings to ensure nursing staff are able to provide high-quality, specialised patient care. A NT acts as a role model within their healthcare facility, offering practical, comprehensive, evidence-based and patient-centred education and staff development. It’s a position that requires a strong commitment to ensuring that the best possible standards of patient care and experience are provided. There are also non-clinical Nurse Teachers who generally work in academic settings, taking up positions as faculty members in universities and nursing schools. Many also hold hybrid positions, teaching in non-medical settings while also working as nurses to maintain and improve their own clinical skills.
