Hello. I'm a nurse anesthetist with 20 years of experience and 30 years of experience as an RN. For many reasons, I want to transition out of anesthesia. I've always had an interest in teaching however I don't have a Masters In Nursing. My Masters is in Biology (this was the only degree offered by my nurse anesthesia program). Based on my research it seems like it's virtually impossible to secure a BSN teaching position without a MSN. Does anyone know if one can teach at a LPN program without a MSN? At my age (53) going back to school for an additional degree is just not an option. I have considered taking the "simulation course" at Drexel University however I'm not sure how much this would help me. I taught while I was in the military, in grad school and nurse anesthesia students during their clinical rotations etc. however I do not have any FORMAL teaching experience. That being said, in my 30 years I've worked in EVERY clinical setting. In my heart I know I can be an effective nurse educator if given the opportunity. I truly feel I have something to offer the next generation of nurses. I would sincerely appreciate any advice or ideas. Thank you in advance and God Bless.
