Hello -
I got my MSN in nursing education about 2 years ago now. I had not issues finding a job as a nurse educator. I originally started out at a nursing home but things did not work out there due to the public/private model there. I left there and I am now at a home health and hospice agency as one of their clinical nurse educators, I absolutely love it. Meeting new staff, helping existing staff, creating curriculum, learning about new products and procedures, researching answers for challenging questions. No two days are ever the same which is what I love. The only thing I miss is patient interaction, however, I found a happy medium with helping new staff in the field if they are uncomfortable and no one else is available to help them. Seeing staff come in and thrive after their 3 week orientation with me is such a fulfilling feeling and to have them reach out with questions later makes things worthwhile, validating all that I do.
