Henderson State University’s MSN program offers the opportunity for a BSN or MSN prepared RN to obtain a graduate certificate in Nursing Education in an online environment allowing the flexibility to maintain full-time employment during completion. If you are a nurse interested in opening the door to numerous employment opportunities such as a nurse educator in a hospital-based or academic-based setting, the online NE certificate at HSU is a perfect fit. If you are already a nurse educator, the graduate NE certificate provides an opportunity to expand your knowledge regarding curriculum development, assessment and evaluation, evidence-based teaching strategies, learning theories, and program evaluation.
The graduate nursing education certificate can be completed in a variety of timeframes to meet the needs of working nurses. The courses have been designed to run concurrently over a single ten-week summer term for nurse educators who wish to complete the certificate in one summer. However, the courses can also be taken over 2 to 4 semesters to accommodate nurses who are working full-time. There is no on-campus component required for this certificate. In addition, the certificate can be completed simultaneously with both the FNP or NELA track options.
