Post-Master Nursing Education
A post-master certificate program is available for nurses who possess a minimum of a Master of Science in Nursing degree. The purpose of this program is to enhance the student’s knowledge and skills in nursing education. This program would meet the needs of nurses who are already in nursing education positions without a nursing education academic preparation. The program would help them to optimize their current job performance as well as to enhance their career potential. The program would also be useful for nurses who hold graduate degrees in clinical practice areas who are seeking nursing faculty positions and wish to enhance their credentials.
