Are there any master's programs in school nursing? If so, could anyone tell me the names of any such programs. Also, are there any post BS certificate programs in school nursing? I would be interested in online or in school programs.

Cambridge college in Boston has a summer program (I think about 6 weeks) where you live on campus and earn approx. 15 credits. Then, they extend into the next school year and you finish up a Masters. I think the 2nd half is all done at home, on-line, or something similar.

I completed my M.Ed. at Cambridge College near Boston 2 summers ago. I transferred in 12 credits and received 15 credits during the 5 week stay in the summer. We had 5 weeks of classes, one class per week with 3 credits per class. I then had to do an Independent Learning Project at home for 3 credits and an online class for 2 credits. It was wonderful in so much that I was one of 42 school nurses from all over the country. Our classes dealt with school nursing. Please feel free to e-mail me @[email protected] if you want more specific information!

That would have been perfect for me, but unfortunately I have to get my MS in Nursing online. Unfortunately, I cannot find any master's programs in school nursing that are online. So since I cannot work right now, I have been considering an online master's in pediatric nursing. If you hear of any online master's programs in School Nursing, please let me know. Thank you for your help.

More online programs: University of Iowa has an online Masters Program with an emphasis in school nursing as does U of New Mexico. I am sure there are others.

Thank you. I will check into these programs. My only experience is in school nursing except for a med surg refresher course I took. I am now trying to decide between online master's in school nursing vs psychiatric nursing. I have gotten so much help on this web site-unbelievable site! So happy I found it.

A massters in Mental Health Nursing would be ideal for the school setting!!! When interviewing the programs, make sure they can provide child /family clinicals. Let us know what you decide.

I hope you don't mind if I run my situation past you Bergren. I have shared my situation on this site, but I am not sure if you have read it. I graduated from nursing school with a BSN in 1969. I worked as a school nurse teacher for two years. Then I became an elementary school teacher. It was strictly by accident, but I liked it, so I stayed in that field instead of becoming a pediatric nurse which is what I had intended to be. I ended up teaching Kind., first ,second and third grade for approx. 25 years. I got an MA in education, and I also received 24 post grad credits in education and educational administration. I became teacher of the year in 1996 and had a great career until I retired three years ago. I decided that I wanted to go back to nursing, and I took med surg refresher course two years ago. I did very well remembering a lot and learning a lot. The instructor thought I had excellent assessment skills and gave me an excellent evaluation. After that, I had two surgeries, and I remarried. So I was quite busy, and I couldn't follow up on the nursing. Although I cannot work right now, I will be able to in the not so far future. So, I decided to get an online master's. I am able to do clinicals. I just have to make a decision as to whether I should get my master's in psych. nursing or school nursing. I thought working in a school would be good, because that is where my experiemce is. But, I also have an interest in psych. nursing (either gerontology or child psych) . The University of Iowa has a great school nursing master's, and I like the fact that they offer courses as electives in behavioral problems and learning disabilities in children. MU Sinclair School of Nursing, the state university of New Mexico and a local state school all offer good psych nursing programs. Maybe I should apply to all of them and see where I can get in and then decide. Any comments and/or suggestions would be helpful. This site has helped me at least narrow down my interests. Thanks.
