MSNedu.org was created to support RNs as they pursue career progression through advanced education. By extension, we hope to serve the broader community of nursing education providers, health policy advocates, employers and other stakeholders in the US healthcare system by providing a resource that helps streamline the decision making process for prospective nurse graduate students.
Gathering information and unique insights through interviews, open forum discussions and research, we were able to focus on providing substantive information and an insider’s perspective on career progression and advanced education in the field of nursing.
Our staff of researchers and writers also brought years of experience writing on topics related to education, healthcare and nursing to this project.

Our Mission
MSNedu.org was developed to serve as a dedicated resource for RNs exploring graduate program options in preparation for careers as advanced clinicians and clinical leaders, as well those interested in roles outside of direct patient care, in areas like administration, informatics, health policy, public health and education.
MSNedu.org is here to help make deciding on a specialty track and selecting an appropriate MSN program easier than ever before. Our goal is to make career advancement more attainable by providing the information RNs need to make well-informed decisions.
We worked to develop this resource as a way to support those nurses who are committed to cementing their role in the future of healthcare by developing the kind of advanced skills and knowledge that can only come from earning a master’s degree.
