J Contin Educ Nurs. 2023 Feb;54(2):56-57. doi: 10.3928/00220124-20230113-03. Epub 2023 Feb 1.ABSTRACTAn important focus for clinical nurse educators is facilitating learner development and socialization. When evaluating learning, there are three domains that can be assessed: cognitive, affective, and psychomotor. The cognitive and psychomotor domains are typically well assessed in nursing education. A review of the literature published between 2015 and 2022 suggests that there has been no universal approach to how clinical nurse educators implement the affective domain for novice nurses. The affective domain consists of developing behaviors that are consistent with professional nursing standards. Prioritizing affective domain education can help novice nurses to be better prepared to work in the current state of health care in the United States. The goal of this article is to provide strategies to empower clinical nurse educators to foster opportunities that will develop the affective domain of novice nurses.
