MSN: Nurse Educator

The Nurse Educator career option is directed toward preparing the nurse to teach in a collegiate or health care setting.

The student’s area of study incorporates a blend of theory and research with an emphasis on guided practice in the educator practicum. The practicum is completed in the student’s own community. In addition to working with a member of Graceland’s nursing faculty during the practicum, the student’s hands-on experience is monitored by a local preceptor.
