Clinical Nurse Specialist / Nurse Educator

This is a great example of the innovative ideas coming from the UC faculty. A typical CNS is a multifaceted role focusing on patients, nursing practice, and systems. In each situation expert-level teaching skills are essential, but a typical CNS never receives those skills. Likewise, ordinary Nurse Educators never gain the clinical knowledge to complement their teaching ability. By marrying the two specialties, UC has created a Master of Nursing unlike any other.
