Nursing: Nurse Educator Concentration, Master of Science

The School of Nursing offers the Master of Science degree with a major in nursing concentration Nurse Educator. Master’s-prepared nurses may complete a post graduate certificate in the nurse educator concentration. This program prepares the nurse to practice as faculty in colleges, universities, hospital -based schools of nursing or technical schools, or as staff development educators in health care facilities. Nurse educators serve as role models and provide leadership needed to implement evidence-based practice. These leaders document the outcomes of educational programs and guide students through the learning process. The shortage of nurse educators may enhance career prospects since it affords job security and provides opportunities for nurses to maintain dual roles as educators and direct patient care providers. The graduate will be eligible to apply for the National League for Nursing Certified Nurse Educator Examination. Master’s-prepared nurses may complete a post graduate certificate in the nurse educator concentration.
