Curriculum
A curriculum designed to strengthen your holistic approach to healthcare.
Misericordia’s online Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) curriculum provides a structured framework that prepares you for an advanced practice role in healthcare. It centers around research, inquiry, analysis, and other skills that can be directly applied in the workplace; like the diagnosis, prescription, and management of acute and chronic illnesses.
Our online MSN offers individualized attention and scholarly insight from a dedicated faculty with years of practical experience. You can specialize your coursework in one of two areas: Adult-Gerontology Primary Care Nurse Practitioner or Family Nurse Practitioner.
This degree follows Misericordia’s commitment to a higher standard of education focused on:
- Evidence-based practice
