Due process in nursing education

Nurse educators are integral to producing nursing graduates who are deemed safe to enter into practice. Regardless of the setting, the nurse's primary commitment is to the patient (American Nurses Association, 2015). It is important for nursing faculty to establish program policies and standards and to hold students accountable to them. Unfortunately, nurse educators are often hesitant to address poor performance of the nursing student, citing lack of knowledge about conflict management, pure conflict avoidance, or a fear of being sued.
