Nurse educators serve as faculty members in nursing schools
Teaching hospitals, sharing their knowledge and skills to prepare the next generation of nurses for effective practice.
They develop lesson plans, teach courses, evaluate educational programs, oversee students’ clinical practice and serve as role models for their students.
They may teach general courses or focus on areas of specialization, such as geriatric nursing, pediatric nursing or nursing informatics.
Most nurse educators have extensive clinical experience, and many continue caring for patients after becoming educators.
Even if they no longer practice, nurse educators must stay current with new nursing methods and technologies, which keep them on the leading edge of clinical practice.
With experience, nurse educators may advance to administrative roles, such as managing nurse education programs, writing or reviewing textbooks and developing continuing education programs for working nurses.
This career is in extremely high demand, because the United States is experiencing a serious nursing shortage.
Many government agencies, professional groups and nonprofit organizations have launched campaigns to encourage young people to choose a career in nurse education. One example is the Nurses for a Healthier Tomorrow Coalition, which points prospective nurse educators to resources and funding opportunities needed to enter the field.
