To become a nursing teacher, individuals typically need a combination of educational qualifications and practical nursing experience. Most positions require at least a Master's degree in Nursing, although a Doctorate (Ph.D. or DNP) is often preferred for university-level teaching. Additionally, nursing teachers must hold an active nursing license and have several years of clinical experience. Certification in nursing education, such as the Certified Nurse Educator (CNE) credential, can also enhance their qualifications.
