Nurse educator shortage. New program approach.
The nursing shortage is here and now.  Nursing faculty are againg and retiring, enhancing the current and projected faculty shortage.  A skilled clinician is not automatically a skilled educator; the different roles involve different skill sets. The Nurse Educator Certificate for advanced practice clinicians offers one answer to the looming shortages.  The new web-based educator certificate provides flexibility for students preparing to meet the rapidly changing healthcare needs of our population.  Students benefit from an opportunity to improve their educator skill set in a convenient mode from their hoem communities.
