It looks like that shouldn't be a problem, at least to be a part-time instructor. Depending on the University, they may require a PhD in order to become FT tenured staff.

God bless you: We are certainly going to need more instructors for the next 2-3 decades (at least)

IL requires an MSN at the very least to teach nursing. An MS in education wont cut it.

Thank you for replying. So I don't have any advantages of getting a msn in education. I see.

If you have an MSN, you can teach at the bachelor's level, but you cannot teach at the master's level in Illinois. I believe the requirement for teaching in a nursing program in Illinois is to have a degree one level above that which you are teaching. Please research this requirement, as I believe I read that on an Illinois government site, but I can't be 100% sure.

Some of my former professors were RNs with a master's degree, but not always in nursing.
