Master’s of Science in Nursing (MSN) Programs in Delaware

The MSN, MS Nursing Degree, MN or other nursing master’s nursing programs are designed to build upon the baccalaureate nursing education and clinical work experience a registered nurse possess and prepare that nurse for advanced practice as a clinical nurse specialist, nurse practitioner, nurse anesthetist or nurse midwife. The master’s education may also prepare a registered nurse for management, administration, education or a doctorate level education.

Registered nurses looking into master’s level nursing programs most often have a pretty good idea of where they would like to focus their studies and take their career. At this point the most important consideration is which nursing school has the faculty and program that will best prepare a nurse in their chosen field or path.
