Training Plan for Nursing Instructor
The Hallmark University School of Nursing Nurse Educator Fellowship is a structured 12-week (480-hour) Department of Defense SkillBridge training program designed for transitioning service members with nursing experience who are interested in pursuing a career in higher education. Participants receive comprehensive training and mentorship from experienced nursing faculty while developing the knowledge, skills, and competencies required to become successful nursing instructors.Throughout the fellowship, participants gain hands-on experience in classroom instruction, clinical education, simulation-based learning, laboratory instruction, curriculum development, student assessment, educational technology, academic advising, accreditation, and faculty leadership. The program follows a progressive learning model that transitions participants from observation to supervised teaching and culminates in an independent teaching practicum and capstone experience.Upon successful completion, participants receive a Certificate of Completion documenting 480 hours of supervised Nurse Educator Fellowship training and will be well prepared for consideration for future nursing faculty opportunities, subject to institutional hiring needs and qualifications.
