Hello! I am in the DNP FNP program, it would be great to connect! I can do email.

Here's the link to the cert: https://nursing.wsu.edu/graduate-program-options/graduate-certificates/nursing-education/. After it's completed you can sit for the Certified Nurse Educator certification. I really think it has a lot to do with where you are planning on ending up. UW has more national notoriety, but I graduated from Emory (#1 BSN program) and no one out here could give a hoot. I'm planning on staying in Clark County, so WSU makes sense. My pro/con list is practicality vs prestige, haha. I read something where 2027 is essentially doomsday for nursing faculty (huge retirement surge), so it's probably going to end up being just like nursing where you're a warm body with the proper degree.

Hello! I'm thrilled to know I'm not the only person in the same boat---UW, WSU, and I got into Emory too. I know I want to teach, so being able to get the education certificate while at WSU is a massive perk. And, I really don't want to drive 3 hours to Seattle once a week (I live in Camas). So I'm leaning really hard to WSU.
