Hello all! My name is Kate and I received my BSN in May of 2005. I've been thinking a lot about getting my MSN in Education and I'm looking for any and all information that will help me make a definite decision. I'm especially interested in information about those who have their MSN in education and are not teaching ADN or BSN programs (however, I do want some information about those nurses too!) :) . I want to make sure I make an informed decision before I commit to a program.
Thank you, in advance, for any replies and advice!
Hi, classicdame. Do you know of any conferences or organizations that focus on the relationships between hospitals & schools of nursing? As part of my job (in Staff Development), I am the liaison between my hospital and about 8 schools of nursing. We have lots of tough issues to deal with and I would love to network with people in positions similar to mine. You're the first one I have met here on allnurses.com. If you know of any groups, etc. that focus on the subject, I would love to hook up with them.
I am currently enrolled in a MSN ED program because I ONLY want to teach. I have friends that are in the CNS and NP track. My CNS track friend says that she is going for the highest degree so she can teach and/or manage. But, none of her courses are education based. The university I am attending has post graduate education courses for those with an MS who want to teach. My college wants education specialists, with the courses to best assist our students.
Think about what you are truly wanting from your education. Management or education. The educator in the hospital still needs to develop cirriculum.
Happy graduation to all the educators out there!!!
