Suggestion for Application

I am considering applying for several MSN Education programs. I have a background in pediatrics but aside from that not really anything specific to education. Does anyone have suggestions for things I could do to bolster my application to make me more appealing? Volunteering, certifications or other activities?

If you're already at the point of applying, it's too late to try to add anything really meaningful to your application. It would just come across as a quick fix to impress the admissions committee. Have you contacted the program to see what criteria they use to evaluate applicants? Maybe they're only interested in your GPA & GRE Scores. I hope you are looking at programs that include a practicum or residency - otherwise, even with that MSN, it would be challenging to get an education job with no exposure/experience in the role.

If you're serious about a career change to nursing education, I suggest that you begin by becoming a BLS &/or PALS (since your're in Pedi) instructor. Volunteer to develop & deliver inservices for your department. Become a preceptor. Help with skills check-off days. Most educators begin their careers in these types of activities, before moving into more education-centric roles. If nothing else, it will help you determine whether you actually like education or not.

Best of luck in your career advancement.
