  2. MSN in Nursing Education: Simulation?

    Yes, I was offered a few different positions. One was for an educator for outpatient offices, and the other was for an educator in the department I was currently working in. My background is OR so I...

  4. FYI, if you have a 2.8 GPA you need to do extra steps to get accepted, it's not automatic. The program also requires teaching hours in the practicum for the MSN ED and the program covers curriculum...

  13. MSN in Nursing Education: Simulation?

    I also did my BSN with Capella, then my MSN ED with Capella, finished in 7 months. The preceptor wasn't hard to find, I emailed my nursing education dept at work and they set me up with someone. I...
  14. Where do I go from here?

    I've been a nurse for over 20 years. I was an LPN then and RN. I've put my time in the "trenches". Nothing wrong with being a bedside nurse, we have all contributed. There comes a time when some might...
