Students who have a master's in nursing and meet the admission qualifications may take courses leading to a nurse educator post master's certificate.
The online program uses a variety of teaching strategies designed to actively engage students. Two-day orientation sessions are held on campus before the beginning of each fall semester to enhance the connections among students and with the nursing faculty. There are also mandatory on-campus sessions per track.
The nurse educator track prepares graduates to:
- Accept a faculty position within a program of nursing, or a nurse educator position in a clinical setting.
- Increase mastery related to teaching, learning, evaluation strategies, curriculum design, and the use of educational technologies.
- Enhance clinical expertise in a selected specialty area, via directed study and mentorship with experienced faculty.
- Supervise basic nursing students in clinical practice areas and/or work with nurse educators in clinical settings to prepare, deliver, and evaluate educational programs for nurses.
Students have part-time or full-time enrollment options. Nurse Educator students are required to come to campus 3 times: (1) Orientation, (2) NURS 703 skills lab, (3) NURS 703 final skills pass off.
The MSN curriculum meets the Essentials of Master's Education in Nursing as identified by the American Association of Colleges of Nursing.
