Nurse Educators Program NEP

The Higher Education Aids Board (HEAB) manages and services the Wisconsin Nurse Educators Program (NEP). The goal of this program is to provide Nurse Educators for Wisconsin.

Three programs are available under the NEP. For all programs, work as a nurse educator must be performed at an eligible work location in Wisconsin.
