Whether you are buying a new car, looking for a new place to live, exploring new job opportunities, or are considering new educational options, doing your research is key to ensuring you make the best possible decision. If you are considering furthering your nursing career and pursuing an MSN degree, thoroughly researching your options is imperative, so that you enroll in a program that fits your needs both professionally and personally. While all nursing master’s programs are unique, here are some of the things students can expect from a quality nursing master’s program.
Flexibility:
In today’s world, flexibility goes a long way with working professionals. Goodwin College’s nursing master’s program fully understands the importance of flexibility and offers convenient MSN nursing classes that can be completed fully online – so that you can work towards your MSN degree, no matter where you may be. Furthermore, our nursing master’s program can be completed part-time in less than two years. These convenient scheduling options allow you to continue working full-time while you are pursing your degree.
Robust Curriculum:
Graduate nursing courses will prepare you with the knowledge you need to advance in your nursing career. Goodwin’s 30-credit curriculum covers all aspects of advanced nursing and population health including classes in Pathophysiology, Pharmacology and Physical Assessment. Furthermore, our MSN curriculum explores the policy and politics of the healthcare system. Our “Policy, Politics and Organization of Healthcare” course, for example, explores the principles of policy development, political engagement, and advocacy of issues in healthcare.
Great Career Outcomes:
Earning an MSN degree from an accredited nursing master’s program not only will provide you with the knowledge needed to be better at your job, but it could open up opportunities to obtain advanced positions in the nursing field with higher earning potential. Goodwin’s MSN program is career focused and has high job placement and retention rates in many advanced nursing positions including a Nurse Educator, Nurse Administrator, and a Nurse Manager.

Deciding to earn your MSN degree is a commitment, which is why Goodwin College is committed to all our students long after they graduate from our nursing master’s program. Our career services staff will assist all current and past students with whatever career support or advice they need, free of cost.
