Master of Science in Nursing - Nursing Administration

William Paterson University

The nursing administration track is a 31-credit program that prepares a nurse administrator to work in a variety of health care environments. Nurse administrators often manage a team of nurses, or a specific nursing unit or shift. Nurse administrators can interact directly with patients but are often assigned to a managerial role. A unique feature of the program is the ability to enroll in three MBA courses offered through the Cotsakos College of Business.

The program is designed for either part- or full-time study. Upon completion of the theory and practicum course requirements, you will be eligible to apply for the Nurse Executive, Advanced Certification Examination by American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) or the American Organization of Nurse Executives (AONE) administrator certification exams: Certified Nurse Manager and Leader (CNML) and Executive Nursing Practice (CENP). The type of certification is based on experience level.
