Area of Science:

  • Nursing Education
  • Graduate Nursing Programs
  • Curriculum Development

Background:

  • The role of nurse educators is critical for advancing the nursing profession.
  • Understanding the current landscape of graduate nursing education for teaching roles is essential.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To delineate the outcomes, content, and structure of master's nursing programs preparing nurse educators.
  • To characterize student learning experiences in these programs.
  • To identify emerging trends in graduate nursing education for teaching preparation.

Main Methods:

  • A self-administered questionnaire was distributed to all NLN-accredited master's nursing programs (N=139).
  • Data were collected on the nursing education component of master's curricula.

  • A response rate of 66.2% (92 programs) was achieved.

    • Main Results:

    • Only 10.9% of programs offered a major in nursing education; minors or tracks were more prevalent (N=66).
    • A significant difference in required credits existed between major (M=11.4) and minor (M=8.8) programs.
    • Over half of programs included coursework in learning theory, curriculum design, teaching methods, and evaluation.

    Conclusions:

    • Graduate nursing education currently emphasizes advanced practice, with nursing education preparation often secondary (minors/tracks).
    • Curricula commonly include core pedagogical content, and practical teaching experiences are integral.
    • Trends suggest a continued focus on advanced practice, with dedicated nursing education majors being less common.
