The online Master of Science in Nursing / Clinical Nurse Educator prepares students to teach college-level students or seasoned nursing professionals. This program is designed for BSN trained registered nurses who want to combine clinical expertise and a passion for teaching into a rich and rewarding career. 

Teaching offers students the choice to focus on adult education (staff development and/or continuing education in a healthcare agency) or higher education (teaching nursing students in a degree-granting institution).

The ANCC's Nursing Professional Development certification or the NLN’s Certified Nurse Educator designation are examples of certificates to garner skills and prepare for doctoral-level studies.

An MSN degree can lead to respectable administration positions in the school environment and the professional clinic fields such as:

• Adjunct Professor
• Professor
• Instructional or Administrative Nurse Faculty
• Hospital Positions:
• Clinical Nurse Educator
• Staff Development Officer
• Director of Education
• Continuing Education Specialist
• Unit Based Educator
