Nursing Education
Enhancing Educational
Development
 Graduate study in nursing
education prepares the professional student to be a nurse educator
in a variety
of settings including higher education, vocational education, staff
development, and patient education. Georgetown University School
of Nursing & Health Studies prepares future leaders to respond
to the growing complexity of health care delivery at all levels
by preparing educators who will develop and teach in programs for
healthcare
professionals and programs of health education for consumers.
Grounded
in theoretical perspectives of nursing and education, graduates
are prepared for advanced roles related to nursing education,
educational research and educational policy and decision-making.
This track
of
study addresses the goal of improving nursing and healthcare
through the professional development of educators at all levels
while incorporating
the role of research into the development of excellence in nursing
education.
The master’s program consists of 35 credits
and can be completed in one calendar year of full time study.
The graduate core courses
encompass interdisciplinary nursing and science requirements
that provide content essential to nurse educators. The nursing
education
courses expand and extend knowledge gained in the core, and provide
an opportunity for students to confront important issues in education
and develop skills as educators.
A part-time
sequence is also available for the working
professional who continues to grow
in the clinical laboratory. The part-time
options can be customized to
meet the individual needs and goals of the nursing education student. In
addition there is an opportunity to complete a certificate
program consisting of the
four major education courses, 14 credits total. Students can
complete this program
in three semesters of study.
Scholarship is
accentuated during the program with an emphasis on evidence-based
practice in education as demonstrated
by the culmination of course work
with a scholarly project or thesis option. The students will also demonstrate
rigor in the clinical environment with teaching in a variety of settings.
At
the conclusion of the program or certificate, graduates will
be eligible for examination for the Nursing Professional Development
Board Certification
offered
by the American Nurses Credentialing Corporation as well as the Certified
Nurse Educator credential offered by the National League for Nursing.
