Congratulations to Joan Weddington, a member of CWI’s Nursing faculty, for earning the certified nurse educator certification (CNE). The CNE designation requires advanced education and successful completion of an examination specific to nursing education. Only 4,000 nurse educators in academic or healthcare settings have achieved certification as a nurse educator. THE CNE establishes the role of a nurse educator as an advanced professional practice discipline with a defined practice setting and standards of excellence. Joan demonstrates her commitment to education and passion for lifelong learning by enrolling in courses at Idaho State University.
Joan, who also serves on Faculty Senate, is often found sharing her knowledge and love of antiques (particularly Victorian era) with her colleagues in the Nursing Department!
