SCNA. The chapter is committed to supporting academic nurse educators as well as clinical nurse<br />
educators around the state. The goals for the previous year were met. The chapter had a dedicated<br />
meeting day with advance notification for all meetings sent to chapter members. The topics from<br />
the nurse educators proposed during the APRN annual conference were derived from the current<br />
practice issues clinical and academic nurse educators felt were important to highlight. Future goals<br />
include preparing for additional ways to prevent nurse educator fatigue while transitioning from face<br />
to face learning to online learning. Also, supporting the clinical nurse educator with information<br />
regarding COVID-19 and ways to increase awareness. The SCNA Nurse Educator’s chapter meets<br />
every 3rd Saturday of the month at 10:00am via teleconference.<br />
