Position Title: CLINICAL NURSE EDUCATOR
Definition:
Clinical nurse educators are registered nurses with extensive working experience
before they commence teaching in educational institutions. These individuals
provide teaching in nursing in various institutions, which include colleges, hospitals,

important to impart training to younger people who want to take up a career in
nursing.

and registered nurses.

Strong clinical working experience with a liking to teach is an important part of this
job.
Qualification 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 postbaccalaureate, 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 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.
