Healthcare professionals are in demand and a new group of experienced and educated professionals is needed to educate and lead. An aging population, an increase in preventive care, and an increasing number of nurse educators reaching retirement age, add to the growing demand for nurse educators.
Nurse educators are leaders in academic, hospital, community, and organizational settings. They provide valuable education to communities and groups from all areas of the healthcare field. The demand for nurse educators provides them the flexibility to work in all parts of the world and in a wide array of healthcare positions.
Nurse educators perform a wide range of roles, including:
Demand for nurse educators is expected to mirror a strong demand for registered nurses as an aging and active population, a rise in chronic conditions, and a new emphasis on preventive care increases healthcare needs.
The demand for nurse educators is further boosted by a projected increase in post-secondary teaching positions and their flexibility to work across the healthcare career fields.
