Connect with this Mission. About Philippines. The Philippines, Southeast Asia's oldest democracy, is a key development, trade and security partner to the United States. Its economy has grown substantially in recent years, but the gains have not yet generated sufficient improvements in the lives of many Filipinos.
The Clinical Nurse Leader (CNL) is an emerging role developed by the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) in collaboration with leaders in the nursing practice environment. A CNL makes it his or her mission to identify how to improve the quality of patient care and prepares other nurses with the skills needed to thrive in the current and future healthcare system.
Nurse educators serve in a variety of roles that often range from nursing college dean to a clinical trainer for a medical device or pharmaceutical company. A combination of clinical expertise and a passion for teaching are two of the core skills that strengthen the nursing workforce while providing peer mentorship. These specialized skill sets help to set apart the nurse educator from the rest of the clinical team. Many nurse educators design and evaluate academic and continuing education programs for nurses and clinical staff. These can include formal academic programs that lead to a degree or certificate, or more informal continuing education programs designed to meet individual learning needs.
