The nursing faculty shortage in Massachusetts has created a backlog of applicants on waitlists for Massachusetts nursing programs. This in turn has added to the critical nursing shortage in Massachusetts. Massachusetts nursing schools are doing what they can to recruit nursing faculty to educate new nurses. Registered nurses seeking advanced degrees such as their BSN are running into the backlog as well and many have chosen to pursue an online RN to BSN path to avoid the waitlists and take advantage of the flexibility an online nursing program offers.
Our goal is to help lessen the impact of the nursing faculty and nurse shortage in Massachusetts by offering online nursing programs through CCNE (Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education) accredited online nursing schools. These online nursing programs are designed for registered nurses seeking LPN to BSN, RN to BSN or RN to MSN degrees. With more hospitals and health care agencies in Massachusetts seeking registered nurses with baccalaureate degrees in nursing to fill their vacancies getting an advanced degree is the logical next step for any registered nurse. The online schools you’ll find on this site have no waitlist and many times the nursing programs can be completed at a much more accelerated pace than a campus based program. You’ll also find that the flexibility of an online nursing program is much more conducive to your work schedule.
"The University of Phoenix School of Nursing Online also offers a nursing health care education certificate for those already holding an MSN or those in the process of earning an MSN. This certificate provides them with the bridge from clinical to teaching that they need." Editor's Note
One must have a master of science in nursing to teach nursing in Massachusetts. However, due to the shortage of nursing faculty, the Massachusetts Board of Registration in Nursing is taking applications to waive the MSN requirement if an RN student has a BSN and is enrolled in an MSN program. Becoming a nurse educator is a respectable and rewarding career and they are much needed in Massachusetts.
