Master of Science in Nursing (Online)
Now more than ever nursing educators and administrators are needed to train the nurses of tomorrow and lead organizations that deliver critical health care services. Both of these important nursing functions – education and administration – offer you the opportunity to advance your career, attain greater life-work balance, and realize personal growth. Norwich University, a nearly 200-year old institution that has trained the nation’s military and civilian leaders, offers a CCNE-accredited Master of Science in Nursing online program that provides you with the skills needed to become a leader in the nursing field, and the opportunity to specialize in one of two concentrations: nursing administration or nursing education.
Master of Science in Nursing - Nursing Administration (Online)
The Nursing Administration concentration provides nurse leaders the knowledge and competencies to effectively create work environments that promote professional and collaborative nursing practices and ultimately achieve quality patient care. Students will implement the role of the nurse leader/manager, as defined by the ANA scope and standards of practice and demonstrate the abilities of the advanced practice nurse leader/manager, as outlined by the AACN.
Master of Science in Nursing - Nursing Educator (Online)
The Nursing Educator concentration is designed for nurses who desire to function within the educational environment as a leader and change agent. Students will face challenges in the classroom such as student diversity, the wide variety of learning needs, changing student expectations, an explosion in educational technology, and the complexity of the clinical environment in which their students will practice.
