Hello everyone. I want to update my knowledge in Geriatric Nursing to improve as a professional and enjoy new career experiences. A colleague has told me about the qualifications at TECH in Geriatric Nursing, and their Master's in Geriatric Nursing has caught my attention. I would like to hear more opinions about this university to definitively decide to take the Master's program. Thank you very much.

A: Eligibility criteria require candidates to hold a role/population specific master's, post-graduate certificate, or DNP from an institution** accredited by a national nursing accreditor (CCNE, ACEN or NLN CNEA).

Program appears to provide advanced specialized knowledge in Geriatrics providing a DIPLOMA.  Value of this diploma will vary by employer since not a certification recognized by US healthcare employers.   Since above glowing posts are from first time and not established allnurses members stating they attended program, best to  investigate program further with future career goals in mind.  Advanced knowledge is always useful to improve one's nursing care.
