In fact, the American Hospital Association estimates that 75 percent of all medical vacancies are for nurses. This all comes in the face of an impending baby boomer generation on the brink of retirement, foreshadowing an increased need for qualified nursing care.

Nurse Educator January 22, 2008
Posted by Jennifer - RN, MSN in : DocHubCollege , add a comment
A career in nursing education provides you with the opportunity to teach in programs that prepare licensed practical nurses (LPN) and registered nurses (RN) for entry into practice positions. In addition, nursing faculty teach in graduate programs at the Master’s and doctoral level which prepare advanced practice nurses, nurse educators, nursing administrators, nurse researchers, and leaders in complex healthcare and educational organizations.
Faculty who teach in LPN, associate degree and baccalaureate programs are required to hold a Master’s degree in nursing. Most baccalaureate and higher degree programs require a minimum of a Master’s degree and prefer the doctorate for full-time teaching positions. Many nurse educators have a clinical specialty background that is often blended with coursework in education. Individuals may complete a post-Master’s certificate in education to complement their clinical expertise if they choose to enter a faculty role.
Nursing faculty have the unique opportunity to share their clinical expertise in educational settings to shape the next generation of nurses. Current faculty indicate that the most positive aspect of their role is the interaction with students. Nursing faculty may also engage in scholarly inquiry that will further illuminate the nature of teaching and learning and will ultimately shape future educational processes and outcomes.
