Master's Nursing Programs in Utah
A master's in nursing prepares the baccalaureate educated registered nurse for advanced nursing careers by building on prior experience and education. The master's nursing program is the essential step a registered nurse must take to pursue a career as a nurse practitioner, clinical nurse leader, clinical nurse specialist, nurse anesthetist, nurse educator, nurse executive and for various other positions. A master's nursing program can take take 18 to 24 months to complete with a full-time course load. Some online programs can take as little as 16 months. Much of this depends on the student, the school and the chosen area of concentration. You can learn more about the schools offering master's in nursing programs in Utah below.
Nurse educator concentrations have become more popular in Utah. The state of Utah as well as Intermountain Health Care have donated millions of dollars to the colleges and universities in Utah that offer entry-level nursing programs. This money has helped increase the salaries for nursing faculty and is attracting more Utah nurses into educator roles. This is not to say that advanced practice and other leadership roles have lost any popularity. There is an ongoing battle to correct the nursing shortage in Utah and nursing faculty positions are one of the key areas being addressed.
