One of the rate limiting factors of educating nursing students is having enough clinically active nurses who are certified to meet the various nursing programs’ accreditation requirements. Nursing students are required to spend time with a qualified nursing educator in order to meet their graduation requirements.

It takes a highly motivated and skilled nurse to be able to care for patients and appropriately teach nursing students at the same time.
