MSN Care Coordination

[ESnt16]

Hi! Do you think that an MSN in Care Coordination or Case Management could help a new nurse (1 year of M/S experience) to overcome the lack of experience? Or do you think it's a waste of time/money?

Thanks for the feedback!

Are you trying to find out if it will help you get a job in case management? Most nurses in my department have years of experience in diverse specialties. I have 7 years of diverse specialties as well and still work PRN in the ED. Most employers require at least three years experience. I believe an MSN in case management might be a waste of time. What else can you do with the degree in case you don't get a CM position? My self as well as some nurses in my department are in grad school and none is specializing in case management.
