The MSN Ed Program content is grounded in the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) Essentials of Masters Education in Nursing and evidence-based on national standards and research related to effective teaching, learning, and role development. It provides the knowledge and skills that enable educators to teach effectively in diverse learning environments.

The MSN Ed Program content is grounded in the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) Essentials of Master's Education in Nursing and evidence-based on national standards and research related to effective teaching, learning, and role development.

The MSN Ed Program content and processes are consistent with the National League for Nursing (NLN) Nurse Educator Competencies. The Program is focused on preparing highly qualified educators and consists of developing core knowledge related to complexities of health care, access, quality, and costs for diverse populations. New nursing knowledge includes research, theory, technology applied to nursing practice, evidence-based practice, ethics, and new roles for master's prepared nurses. The nurse educator focuses on learning styles, the development and socialization of learners, and strategies to facilitate learning. Educators also need to organize their activities around learning theories. Developing curriculum, objectives, and learning modules are part of an educator's role.

With the primary focus on higher learning in health care professions, Nightingale College contributes to elevating education, health, and employment systems by facilitating academic achievement, personal growth, and professional development of its learners, alumni, and collaborators while serving diverse communities.

The success of our learners and graduates is the core focus of Nightingale College. The future of health care relies upon the new generations of nurses. Nightingale College’s faculty and staff are dedicated to equipping learners with the necessary knowledge and skills to bend the current system's unsustainable course and greatly improve care outcomes and the quality of life for each individual, family, and community they serve.
