The Capabilities of Nurse Educators (CONE) questionnaire: Development and evaluation

The CONE questionnaire proved useful for measuring the complex capabilities of nurse educators in the academic and health service contexts studied and may assist educators to self-assess their capability sets and identify areas for professional development. It also shows promise as an evaluation tool for professional development. The utility of CONE as a self-diagnostic tool in career advancement, particularly in novice educators and educators outside Australia, requires further confirmation.
