| DNP Nurse Educator Subspecialty |
 |
The College of Nursing is proud to offer a DNP Nurse Educator Option as a subspecialty to any DNP program of study. The Nurse Educator courses are designed for Advanced Practice Nurses who wish to earn the DNP and gain Nurse Educator preparation simultaneously. Faculty shortages in nursing programs are limiting the number of student admissions at a time when the need for nurses continues to grow. Financial constraints, aging faculty, and increasing competition for clinical sites have also contributed to this potential crisis. Most doctoral programs do not offer courses in nursing education as part of their basic curriculum which leaves many of the nurses qualified to fill faculty vacancies poorly prepared to function in the classroom after graduation. Whether your current or future position involves nursing education in the campus or clinical environment, we have a plan to help you develop or improve your teaching skills.
