Tags: , ,

Lynne Lewallen, a professor in the UNCG School of Nursing, is among 12 nurse educators who will be inducted as fellows by the National League for Nursing’s (NLN) Academy of Nursing Education.
Lewallen wil lbe inducted Sept. 24 at the 2011 NLN Education Summit in Orlando, Florida.

This fifth class of fellows brings the total number since the establishment of the academy in 2007 to 117, selected through a competitive application process. They represent leaders in nursing education from nursing programs across the higher education spectrum and from other organizations committed to health care.

Evaluations of fellows take into account applicants’ contributions to innovative teaching and/or learning strategies; nursing education research; faculty development activities; academic leadership; promotion of public policy that advances nursing education; and/or collaborative educational, practice, or community partnerships.

The NLN established the Academy of Nursing Education to foster excellence in nursing education by recognizing and capitalizing on the wisdom of outstanding nurse educators. Fellows support the mission of the NLN, assist in the work required to prepare graduates from all types of nursing programs, and serve as resources for new educators and those in clinical practice who hope to someday enter the ranks of nursing faculty.
