Newly graduated nurses are expected to assume many roles as they begin clinical practice, including that of a teacher to patients and families; however, prelicensure nursing education often provides a limited opportunity to train for this role. A near-peer education experience is one method of addressing this gap. Near-peer educators (NPE) differ from tutors in that they provide structured educational experiences. Use of NPEs has demonstrated benefits for both NPEs and learners in laboratory and simulation, but there is limited documentation of its use with didactic instruction. The NPE enrolled in a 3-credit hour independent study with the faculty member. The NPE was provided nursing education resources, which were used to develop two 1-hour active learning sessions on topics that students needed reinforcement. Student attendance was optional and offered via Zoom. The course faculty provided feedback to the NPE throughout the development of and after the learning sessions. The postsession participant surveys indicated that the NPE addressed diverse learning styles and maintained a high level of engagement. Session attendees mean scores on examinations covering content areas addressed in the sessions were higher than the class means. The NPE reported having gained a greater mastery of the topic and new knowledge about the role of nursing educator, and that the experience led them to consider nursing education as a future career path.
