Nurse Educator Post Master's Certificate
The purpose of the Nurse Educator program post-masters certificate is to prepare current nurses who have a master's degree in nursing to build a foundation of knowledge, skills, and attitudes to prepare them for future or enhance current roles as an educator. Nurse educators function as clinical educators in a variety of healthcare settings and as academic educators in a variety of higher and post-secondary educational settings.

The American Association of Colleges of Nursing defines the nurse educator as a direct care role.
