I am currently working in a Med-surg unit and I have been in the U.S for only a year but I really want to take up masteral ASAP. please help me. thanks a lot. all responses will be appreciated.
A MN (Master of Nursing) degree will set you in the right direction for teaching/Nurse Educator.
Hi and Welcome to AllNurses! While most educators at our hospital are slotted for Mon-Fri 8 am to 4 pm - in reality they come in at all hours to do the required education. Our educator has a masters in education. Good luck.
hi. I know that this thread has been more than 2 years old now but I just wanna ask since i am really interested in Taking some Masters degree, to ask these questions:1. is online masteral course valid in all hospitals or health care agencies? Was it the ame as the classroom masteral degree?2. How long is the masters of arts in nursing course? a year or 2? or how many units does it have to finish?3. If I want to become nurse practitioner (i currently am oncardiac telemetry floor plus ICU step down) which type of masters of nursing is best to become a nurse practioner?. How much will it cost me to finish MA?4. any suggestions which school (both online and classroom) is good to study MA-N. (Chula vista, san diego area)thanks so much!
