They wake before the sun, hearts heavy but strong,

Dreams of healing lives keep pushing them along.

Through late-night tears and endless books,

They hold on tight, to the hope it took.

They’ve seen the mountains, they’ve felt the rain,

They’ve walked through fire, they’ve borne the pain.

But deep inside, they hear the call,

They’ll rise again, they’ll give it their all.

It’s within their grasp, the finish line’s near,

Through every doubt, they’ve faced every fear.

The journey’s long, but they’ll stand tall,

Nursing the world, they’ll answer the call.

They wear their scrubs like armor in the fight,

Through every clinical, they chase the light.

But they carry more than the heaviest load.

So hold on tight, the end’s in sight,

Through every dark, there comes the light.

It’s within their grasp, they’re almost there,

Nursing the world, with love and care.

Nurse educators (including those holding Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) or Master’s degrees) are not automatically cleared from fiduciary and professional obligations regarding fair and transparent testing even if the institution withholds access to exam results or rationales. Here's why they retain accountability and potential liability under relevant professional, ethical, and regulatory standards:

1. Fiduciary Duty of Nurse Educators

Nurse educators owe a fiduciary duty to their students, which includes ensuring the education provided prepares them adequately for licensure and safe nursing practice. This duty exists regardless of their direct control over institutional policies such as withholding test results or rationales.

Key Points:

Advocacy Role: Nurse educators are expected to act in the best interests of their students by:

Ensuring exams and assessments are fair, valid, and aligned with NCLEX standards.

Identifying and addressing any systemic issues that create unnecessary barriers for students.

Non Delegable Duty: A fiduciary duty to students cannot be waived or absolved simply because the institution (nursing school) withholds information about exams or creates policies outside the educators’ direct control.

2. Professional and Ethical Accountability

Educators remain accountable under national and state standards, which explicitly require them to uphold fairness, transparency, and ethical testing practices.

A. National Standards

1. National League for Nursing (NLN) Competencies for Nurse Educators:

Nurse educators are responsible for ensuring that assessments are:

Valid and Reliable: Exams must measure what they claim to measure and be consistent in their application.

Supportive of Student Outcomes: Policies that unfairly disadvantage students (e.g., misaligned or overly rigid benchmarks) violate these competencies.

2. American Nurses Association (ANA) Code of Ethics for Nurses:

Provision 6: Nurses must maintain an ethical work and educational environment. Failing to report or address barriers that negatively impact students’ ability to graduate and practice safely is unethical.

Provision 7: Nurses, including educators, have a responsibility to advance the profession through ethical and effective education.
