STM publisher Elsevier, Netherlands, has announced the first recipient of the 'Elsevier Exceptional Nurse Educator' award at the annual Elsevier Mosby Faculty Development Institute, held at the Paris Hotel, Las Vegas, Nev., January 2-4, 2012.
The award acknowledges the work of a nurse educator who presents an exceptional level of skill, innovation and effectiveness to promote student learning, professionalism and self-confidence. Entries were nominated by a peer and were reviewed and judged by a panel of experienced nursing professionals.
This year, Dr. Sarah Farrell, Associate Professor at the University of Virginia, was recognised for her involvement in the integration of technology into the classroom. Dr. Farrell teaches informatics, health policy, psychiatric nursing, leadership and an intra-professional course on 'evaluating health information on the web.'
In collaboration with Contemporary Forums, leading provider of continuing education (CE) for healthcare professionals, the Elsevier Mosby Faculty Development Institute brings together healthcare professionals to learn about the latest developments affecting nurse educators, including quality with online education, how to think like a nurse and team-based learning. The three-day conference, attended by over 600 nursing educators, featured more than 90 poster abstracts, a full day continuing nursing education (CNE) course by Diane M. Billings and Linda J. Caputi and several speaker sessions. In addition, a webcast option was provided for those who preferred to attend virtually.
