Nurse Educator
Becoming a nurse educator necessitates meeting some prerequisites, including completing a nursing education program, holding a valid nursing license, and having a minimum of two years of nursing experience. To develop education and pedagogy-related skills, most professionals in this field opt for a master’s degree in nursing with a specialization in nurse education.
Careers in Nursing & Nurse Leadership
Modern nursing careers are as varied as the people they serve, and each nursing role has its own educational, certification, and licensure requirements. While this complexity is a sign of a maturing profession, it can also be confusing, even to veteran nurses; a growing number of specializations and sub-specializations can complicate the process further.
Whether you’re beginning your nursing career, curious about specialization options, or are looking to brush up on certification requirements, our detailed career guides for nursing roles have everything you need.
Nursing Programs, Leadership Degrees & More

We’ve done all the research necessary to help find the program that’s right for you.
Nursing & Nurse Practitioner (NP) Licensure By State
