1a.”The term role strain has been used to describe the effect of multiple role expectations on individuals (Goode, 1960). Goode first discussed the concept of role strain in depth cind defined it as “the felt difficulty in fulfilling role obligations” (p. 483) (Rutlin, 1996). As an educator, there are so many responsibilities that need to be completed for a successful job completed. With awareness to role strain, the educator will know what the job role entails and how to manage that workload. The awareness is huge because if an educator is not aware of what the job includes, he or she may not be well prepared. As an educator moves forward with multiple job roles in their position, the educator must have a firm knowledge and foundation on what is exactly included in the scope for the job. If this is not clear, the educator may begin to experience job strain.

1b.Role Strain

For the nurse educator that is transitioning into the role of educator it is helpful to have the knowledge of what the students need to be successful nurses. The educator should be well rounded and academically prepared to be self-directed when seeking information and learning the diversity in the learners. The educator must accept responsibility of adapting to the role of educating and begin thinking like an educator instead of a learner. Basic education program’s will provide the educator with the basic tools but the characteristics of the educator will be developed overtime. The nurse educator will develop strategies and adapt to different methods of teachings as ways that work are established.. The clinician that was such an expert will eventually become as efficient as an educator through time. The nurse educator brings much knowledge to the table as a clinician and those skills will become an asset to being able to teach the information to the students. Depending on where the educator will work will be dependent upon the amount of shift needed to adapt to the role (Mann, 2013). The educator will shift from patient satisfaction to that of a student respect. The role adjustment will take a bit of time to go from novice to comfort but it will develop and the comfort will again be a part of the nurse. Having mentors that are seasoned and accepting of sharing knowledge is helpful. This student has not really understood just how different this role will be as a nurse educator and that the development will indeed take a awhile before the educator is fluent and comfortable delivering the education in a smooth and congruent fashion.
