Career Outlook

Nursing education is a high-growth, in-demand field. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment for post-secondary nursing instructors is projected to increase 24% by 2026.* Much of the growth is due to a national shortage of nursing educators that's being compounded by changing educational requirements and a retiring workforce. With the BLS projecting over 3 million additional registered nurses needed by 2026 to meet the job growth and replacement needs due to a retiring workforce, nurse educators are needed to teach the next generation and continue the education of working RNs.*
