From dealing with the repercussions of a global pandemic to addressing the needs of a changing population, nursing education has shifted in recent years. And the future of nursing education promises even more changes as the profession grapples with staff shortages and digital transformations.
Simulation in nursing education has become an increasingly valuable teaching tool.
In recent decades, a severe nursing shortage has swept the U.S. The COVID-19 pandemic has exacerbated this ongoing problem, especially in rural areas. A recent survey found that as many as 96% of regional hospitals faced nursing staff shortages. The StatPearls Journal reports that part of the issue is the lack of nurse educators.
With the growing nursing shortage, more clinical preceptors are needed to prepare aspiring nurses. Clinical preceptors are essential to nursing education and rely on the expertise of experienced clinicians like you.
Earning an online MSN degree is the first step to becoming a nurse educator.

Nurse educators (NEs) are combatting the nursing shortage on the front line. NEs are experienced nurses who hold a Master of Science in Nurse Education, and who prepare future nurses to provide compassionate, safe and effective care.
The regulatory changes and fast paced advancements in medical innovation continuously challenge the healthcare system and its providers. One of the healthcare professionals who is affected the most by these whirlwind changes is the clinical nurse educator.
