Abstract
What characteristics should adult education nursing faculty use to get and maintain the attention and interest of learners? There is a dearth of research or literature available to guide nursing faculty in "grabbing" the learner's interest or attention. Thus, the outcome of this project identified 20 attributes as effective teacher characteristics perceived by learners. Further, these attributes were used to generate a checklist to enhance an educator's ability to hone in on salient characteristics desired by nursing continuing education learners. This checklist, "Be Prepared to Teach," will assist the educator to utilize both professional and personal characteristics perceived as effective by adult learners.
