Online coursework, local practice hours convenient for working nurses<\/p>\n
Baker College will offer a Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) online beginning fall quarter. Registration is now open for classes that begin Thursday, September 24.<\/p>\n
The Baker College MSN is an advanced-level, postgraduate degree that provides education for registered nurses who wish to be employed as nurse educators, nurse administrators, nurse managers and health policy experts. The program includes practice hours performed in the student’s community.<\/p>\n
\u201cGraduates of Baker College\u2019s new MSN degree will be prepared for positions in nursing administration and nursing education,\u201d said Lesley Morgan, Ph.D., ARNP, dean of Baker College\u2019s School of Nursing. \u201cThis program will help meet the needs of administrators at our partner hospitals who are telling us that they would like more registered nurses to be academically qualified for leadership roles.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe flexibility of this online master\u2019s program is ideal for working nurses. No matter where they are located, students can log in online, when convenient for them, to pursue the next step in their education.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nationally, employment of registered nurses is projected to grow 19 percent from 2012 to 2022, while employment of health care administrators is expected to grow 23 percent, much faster than the average for all occupations.<\/p>\n
