Nursing Education Concentration

The Nursing Education concentration prepares nurses to assume roles as educators in a variety of educational and health care settings. Selected roles include faculty in nursing programs, staff development educators in health care organizations, providers of continuing education, or health educators in community agencies. The concentration provides a foundation for doctoral education for graduates who desire to teach in baccalaureate programs. A focus on clinical practice provides the basis for the educator role.

At the completion of the course of study, graduates are able to:

  • Apply theory-based teaching strategies to facilitate learning in educational health care settings
  • Integrate advanced theoretical knowledge in a selected clinical area into the nurse educator role
  • Participate in the development, implementation, and evaluation of nursing and/or health related curricula
  • Implement evidence-based assessment and evaluation methods
  • Analyze issues and trends in nursing and health education to inform program development
  • Use information technologies skillfully to support the teaching-learning process.
