The Franklin Pierce University Department of Nursing Education offers three programs, read the mission of the three programs below:
RN to BS in Nursing Mission
The RN to BS in Nursing program is committed to preparing registered nurses as ethical leaders in the 21st century delivering innovative, evidence based patient-centered care. Graduates are competent and caring nurses who make sound clinical judgments, communicate effectively, and assume leadership and advocacy roles. We prepare graduates to promote the health and well-being of diverse individuals, families, communities, populations, and systems.
Master of Science in Nursing Mission
The Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) program is committed to preparing ethical “leaders of conscience” who demonstrate high level critical thinking, professional role skills in nursing education and nursing leadership, and who make significant contributions to the local and global communities. Graduates are leaders in diverse health care arenas who effect improvements in patient outcomes through education of health care workers and leadership in health care delivery systems. The curriculum is rooted in the generation, evaluation, and utilization of evidence to support practices in nursing education and leadership. Graduates are prepared to utilize scholarly inquiry to provide evidence-based health care.
Master of Science Nursing and Master of Business Administration Dual Degree
The M.S.N./M.B.A. dual degree is designed to prepare nurses who have earned a bachelor’s degree to develop cross-functional business management skills and leadership competencies in nursing. The value of the integration of advanced healthcare theories and business concepts in the M.S.N./M.B.A. dual degree program is that it equips graduates to successfully manage and grow healthcare organizations of all kinds. Students are prepared to fill entrepreneurial roles and start companies or take on leadership positions in organizations. The M.S.N./M.B.A. dual degree program also allows individuals to meet the needs of both their patients and the organization for which they work, making them valuable in the field. A graduate of this program would be eligible to become certified by the American Nurses Credentialing Commission (AANC) as either a nurse executive or an advanced nurse executive depending of their administrator experience.
The Department of Nursing Education at Franklin Pierce currently offers RN-BS, MSN, and MSN/MBA programs.
