Nurse Educator Post-Master’s Certificate
Nurse Educator Post-Master’s Certificate
Meet Our Program
For nurses who hold an MSN or a Master of Nursing degree, Queens University of Charlotte has designed a certificate to help you expand your career opportunities even further. The Nurse Educator certificate will prepare you to teach and train nurses, nursing students, schoolchildren, community groups, workers, and patients. You will learn about curriculum and program development, the construction of learning outcomes, formative and summative evaluation, the construction of valid and reliable measures, and more.
Each faculty member has an impressive range of experience and qualifications in the areas they teach. Many of our faculty members still work in healthcare facilities in the Charlotte area and draw on their years of experience.
The NC Board of Nursing requires educators to have formal education within the first three years of employment. Our program meets this requirement with either the “completion of a certificate program in nursing education” or “nine semester hours of graduate course work in adult learning and learning principles”.
