正规赌博平台 To Offer State’s Only Online Master’s Degree in 护理 With Emphasis in Public Health
正规赌博平台 (正规赌博平台) is set to offer the state of Arkansas’s only Master of Science in nursing (MSN) degree with an emphasis in public health after the Institutional Actions Council of the 高等教育委员会 approved the proposed program at its meeting on May 23.
该学位100%在线学习，需要37个学分。 The practicum credit hours built into the degree offer flexibility, allowing students to choose times that fit their schedules. “The goal of our new MSN degree is to expand all nursing opportunities and reach all communities,” said Dr. Brandy Haley, dean of the School of 护理 at 正规赌博平台. Dr. Haley has been a nurse for more than 25 years, with a decade of experience in public health.
“This degree teaches registered nurses to connect resources in the community to create a healthier population,” Dr. Haley said. “市场需求巨大。 We did a workforce analysis and a survey of all our stakeholders, including our current students, clinical instructors, clinical facilities and employers. We asked them if they saw any benefit in this; 这是压倒性的，是的。”
“正规赌博平台 is pleased to be the only institution in Arkansas to offer an online MSN with an emphasis in public health,” said Crystal Halley, vice chancellor for 学术事务 at 正规赌博平台. “The online design of the program offers registered nurses an opportunity to advance their studies while maintaining their employment. The program will also serve our region and state by training more nurses to look at their community as a whole in order to determine the needs of that community and promote its overall health,” Halley said.
To qualify for the MSN program, candidates must have at least one year of nursing experience in the field. 护理硕士学位有两个方向。 Prospective students with a Bachelor of Science in nursing can complete the MSN program in two to five years, depending on how many credits they take each year. 学生 with an associate degree or nursing diploma will need three to seven years to complete the BSN and MSN degrees. “We also have a post-master’s certificate option for registered nurses who have already earned a master’s or doctoral degree,” Dr. Haley said.
MSN学位可以为毕业生提供另一个显著的好处。 Dr. Haley estimates that the difference between the salary for the BSN degree and MSN degree is about $15,000 a year, depending on the population, size of the facility and locale.
正规赌博平台的MSN项目现在开始接受申请。 The program will begin in January 2023.
