   cnburton replied to Heogog53's topic in Educators

   You just found out and you are graduating? I knew before I started and I have taken the core classes too. I am 55 and maybe will go on for my post masters certificate for NP after I am done next May. Heck if I keep going until I die, how can they ...

2. Job availability for nurse educators

   cnburton replied to caitiecait's topic in Educators

   I know that finding good clinical sites for students is one of the issues and even with different shifts, there may be students of various levels from the BSN and ADN program on the same unit....which makes it sometimes more work for staff and then ...

3. Job availability for nurse educators

   cnburton replied to caitiecait's topic in Educators

   Yes! I would do the NP and then get a post masters certificate in teaching, if I were younger and doing it again. Too bad I didn't find this site a few years ago. I do believe the clinically competent part is vital as health care is rapidly changing,...

4. How come we arent considered APN's?

   cnburton replied to Heogog53's topic in Educators

   Titles are not really all that concerning to me. In addition to the clinical component, I was connecting the pay inequity in as a possible rationale for this separation. I certainly do not have the time or energy to try to change anything. I have tw...

6. How come we arent considered APN's?

   cnburton replied to Heogog53's topic in Educators

   Why is that the criteria? Why isn't getting an " advanced" degree enough? I am taking Advanced pharmacology and Advanced patho to teach it and explain it to many others and that requires advanced training and practice. Just because I won't prescribe ...

   Exactly! We certainly don't have a shortage of sports to watch....I think that is what we need to do to convince them!The way to cure this shortage is to pay more. I know we don't go into nursing just for the money either but the pay has increased ...

   Jbudd I think with all this interest that you should publish.... for those asking about the differences: The difference between community college and university level is you can teach in the clinical site with a BSN, and teach in the classroom with ...

9. How come we arent considered APN's?

   cnburton replied to Heogog53's topic in Educators

   There are many more nurse educators who do not continue to practice nursing in the clinical setting as staff nurses than those who do. I teach part time as adjunct clinical faculty for a community college and there are 2 out of 8 that still work in n...

10. How much time involved in one grad class for MSN in Education?

    cnburton replied to stephva1008's topic in Educators

    I did my BSN online and took two classes at a time and worked full time without a problem. Grad school is different, there is so much reading to do. It is not unusual to have 20 articles to 10 chapters to read for one 3 credit class plus an activity ...

11. Job availability for nurse educators

    cnburton replied to caitiecait's topic in Educators

    Yes I understand that it is the schools who do the pay for educators, and many of them are public universities which are partly funded by our state government and ultimately us, as taxpayers. Why do we allow this? Why don't we lobby to change this? I...

    cnburton replied to caitiecait's topic in Educators

    It is interesting that we all know that educators are not well paid and we do it because we love it. The reality is we do have to pay our bills just like anyone else. If there is a nursing shortage because of having a nurse educator shortage, it woul...
