Tools to foster self-transcendence in nurse educators are presented to teach the teacher to use multiple intelligences, emotional intelligence, knowing and authentic learning experiences to guide a daily practice of forgiveness, empathy and gratitude. Nurse educators who understand incivility and co-create an environment of civility in their respective workplaces can positively impact their lives and those of their colleagues and students. Nurse educators CAN develop collegiality, through recognition of the efforts of our brothers and sisters by believing in them even when we see them at their worst.
