PISCOYA ANGELES, Patricia Noemí  and  LEYVA-MORAL, Juan M.. International Nursing Faculty Exchange for the Acquisition of Teaching Skills: a reflective account based on Patricia Benner's Theory. Index Enferm [online]. 2017, vol.26, n.1-2, pp.96-100. ISSN 1699-5988.

Nursing is a profession that acts in several dimensions: care, research, management and education, and is in the latter where nurses who direct their career to teaching, do so through pedagogical practice. The development of the practice in a discipline is based on the "know how", and it establishes different levels of competence for the acquisition of skills. Thus, it becomes necessary strategies to achieve this purpose. Taking as reference the contributions of Patricia Benner, in this paper we present some of the reflections and conclusions as a result of our experiences within the framework of a Faculty Exchange Program between a Peruvian and Spanish universities. We intend to create a space for reflection and analysis of the educational practice. Moreover, we aim to reveal some training needs to develop training pedagogical plans where we can encourage the acquisition of an expert profile to develop teaching.
