Online Master's Degrees in Nursing

Florence Nightingale once said that nursing is the finest of fine arts. If you are interested in developing your art as a nurse to its absolute finest, you might consider a master's degree in nursing. You can get your master's degree in nursing on your own schedule and at your own pace by completing a program at one of the many accredited colleges and universities offering online master's degrees.

With a master's degree in nursing, you can specialize and become nationally certified in one of four advanced nursing specialties--clinical nurse specialist, nurse anesthetist, nurse midwife, and nurse practitioner. According to the U.S. Department of Labor, there are over 800 master's degree programs in nursing available in the U.S. No matter your specialty, a master's degree in nursing will include classroom instruction and supervised clinical experience. You'll take courses in your area of interest, along with courses in research methodology and statistics.

Nursing is the largest healthcare occupation, with registered nurses holding about 2.4 million jobs in 2004. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), nurses earn an average of $52,330, with higher education usually producing higher wages. Of course, no educational program can guarantee a degree recipient's salary or job placement, but with the baby boomers approaching retirement and medical technology constantly evolving, an advanced healthcare degree can be a prescription for a great career.
