Nurse Educators are prepared at the master s level and qualified to teach and develop future generations of nurses. The Nurse Educator program at FPB responds to a great demand in our community and across our state and the nation for clinical educators and preceptors. In these roles, nurse educators will advance the knowledge, skill and competence of the workforce. As clinical educators, graduates will provide opportunities for continuous learning to nurses in practice. These same graduates will also be prepared to serve as preceptors who will partner with faculty in schools of nursing to offer high quality clinical experiences in which students learn to use evidence in practice. The program places strong emphasis on developing strong critical thinking that is required for safe and effective practice.
