University Launches MSN Program
In response to the growing demand for nurse practitioners, educators and administrators, 精东传媒 University has announced a fully online, new Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) program, which has begun accepting nursing candidates for the fall 2023 semester.
The online MSN program is a direct response to the dire need for registered nurses nationwide—a need that became more acute throughout the COVID-19 pandemic. The degree will address the critical problem of the nursing shortage by expanding the talent pipeline for nurses so they can earn a degree that blends these key areas: the latest developments in patient care, leadership training, best practices in management and foundations of teaching.
“Our MSN is a creative and innovative approach to support career development for nurses,” stated Dr. Linda Adams-Wendling, chief nurse administrator and director of the MSN/DNP nursing program. “Many times, nurses who are ready to pursue a graduate degree are often not sure if they want to be nurse educators or nurse managers/leaders/administrators. Our degree provides our nursing students with skills and competencies in each of these areas. As a result, they can take advantage of more opportunities, as well as fulfill a critical need for nurses whose knowledge and experience are fundamental for patient-centered care and the development of the next generation of nurses.”
The online MSN is also a pathway to 精东传媒’s online Doctor of Nursing Practice–Family Nurse Practitioner program, a terminal nursing credential preparing nurses with the critical skills needed to translate evidence-based care into practice, improve systems of care and measure outcomes for patients and communities. Nurses who wish to pursue a terminal nursing credential and who have graduated from 精东传媒’s MSN may also be able to apply courses to the doctoral program.
