MSN Degree Programs in Nevada

Nurses that decide to pursue their Master's in Nursing in Nevada open themselves up to a whole new array of career possibilities. Generally, such nurses have been working in their field for a year or more, have a bachelor's education, and may be ready to become more specialized in a particular area. Some of these specialty areas include, but are not limited to, advance practice nursing, nurse educators, nurse administrators or managers, and various roles within the confines of public or community health.

Generally, MSN programs in Nevada focus on further developing the nurses role as leaders within their communities. Curriculums at schools vary depending upon the specialty chosen, but often include areas of study such as nursing research, ethics, nursing theory, public policy, and development of leadership and management skills.

Enrollment in nursing master's degree programs has increased dramatically over the past several years. There are a limited amount of on-campus MSN programs offered in Nevada. To help meet demands, many highly reputable universities have created online MSN programs for current registered nurses that have a BSN. Nurses in Nevada will find a number of accredited online Master's in Nursing programs to choose from. Some programs, particularly those that specialize in an area of advance practice nursing such as a nurse practitioner, will also require completion of a clinical precept. Such precepts can often be arranged at a health care facility within or nearby the town in which you currently reside.

In addition to having extended opportunities within their field, nurses with their MSN most likely will have higher salary potential. For instance, according to the Advance for Nurses Salary Survey in 2009, nurses with their master's in nursing in Nevada will make an average of $46.50 per hour compared to $33.50 per hour for those with their BSN.
