Job Description
Clinical nurse educators are registered nurses who have typically acquired significant
experience in the field prior to working in academic or healthcare facility settings to teach
nursing. Because many nurses choose to become specialized in a medical area, such as
pediatric or geriatric nursing, this can lend to specialized teaching credentials; however,
most clinical nurse educators teach a general nursing curriculum. Clinical nurse educators
can work either part- or full-time, depending on whether they choose to continue
pursuing patient care.
Job Duties
Clinical nurse educators develop curricula for nurse educator programs. They teach
healthcare topics to unlicensed nursing students as well as practicing nurses. Class
content includes not only didactic coursework but also hands-on clinical experience and
lessons in professional responsibility. Depending on his or her position or work
environment, a clinical nurse educator might collaborate with other professionals to
refine nursing program content; for example, a women's health advocate may visit a
nursing class addressing this subject.
Pre-Employment Requirements
Becoming a clinical nurse educator requires obtaining at least a bachelor's degree in
nursing and then becoming a registered nurse. Licensure is gained by passing the
National Council Licensure Examination for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN). Then,
professional nursing experience is vital. Experience in a hospital or medical facility
proves additional competency for a nurse educator and qualifies him or her to cover
clinical skills within their program. Registered nurses must then enroll in a graduate-level
clinical nurse education program; these are typically post-baccalaureate, although some
programs do cater to individuals with a master's degree in nursing. They are designed to
introduce nurses to teaching methods and curricula design theory so that they, in turn, can
provide such instruction to future pupils.
Certification Information
Certification in this field is voluntary. A Certified Nurse Educator (CNE) designation is
available through the National League for Nursing (NLN). Basic eligibility criteria
include a master's or doctoral degree in nursing education and a minimum of two years of
full-time teaching experience. Experience requirements are dependent upon an
individual's education level or prior coursework completion. CNE recertification is
necessary every five years with proof of continued education or knowledge advancement.
