Why Pursue a Master’s in Nursing Education

Holy Names University offers several concentrations for students pursuing their Master of Science in Nursing. One of those specializations is Nursing Education. As a graduate student with a concentration, you’ll take a variety of core and focused classes. That combination is crucial to a comprehensive Nursing Education program. In our MSN Nursing Education program, this curriculum integrates two fundamental concepts:

• Practical training: Core classes focus on nursing information and practices. This content applies to a vast range of medical fields. This part of your education prepares you for various healthcare settings and responsibilities. The subjects covered within these courses are versatile and broad. 
• Theory: We provide focused courses to prepare you to teach other students. Instead of studying common medical practices, you’ll learn about the theory behind them. The information you’ll glean in these classes is less versatile and more specialized.

Once you enter the field of Nursing Education, you’ll prepare nursing students to work in settings where they provide medical care to patients. Whether you work as an instructor or someone who develops a curriculum, you’ll affect change and shape the future of education for healthcare professionals.
