MSN in School Nursing, 100% Online
The MSN in school nursing track at Elms College emphasizes a role-focused curriculum. Building off of the college’s core MSN components, the program highlights how school nurses act as specialized public health educators.
Students in the school nursing track complete two practicum courses, taken at the end of the program after all required courses are completed, where they apply their knowledge and skills in a school health area of practice. MSN students also develop leadership strengths and gain health teaching experience, preparing them for a range of rewarding career paths.
