M.S. in Nursing: Nurse Educator
Program Overview
The Rowan Experience
The Masters of Science in Nursing (MSN) Nurse Educator concentration is timely essential to address many of today's pressing needs in the healthcare arena. All nurses are educators, however, not all nurses are prepared as educators. This MSN concentration will provide the healthcare environment with nurses who understand teaching learning principles, curriculum design and evaluation methods. With an MSN as a Nurse Educator, you can remain at bedside, become a staff educator, become a leader in your chosen area of expertise and/or teach nursing to future nurses.
Curriculum
The Rowan University Master of Science in Nursing is a part-time program offered in a hybrid format with a combination of fully online courses, face to face classes, and clinical experiences. At the completion of the MSN, the graduate will have completed a minimum of 300 clinical hours in the area of the Nurse Educator track.
