MSN Program
MSN > Education Track (provided as an online educational track through E-Campus)
As the acuity level of the patient in the hospital continues to increase, professional nurses in leadership roles are being encouraged to establish
avenues to enhance the knowledge of the nursing support staff and provide avenues of nursing care in promoting the optimum wellness of the patient
For this reason, Union University offers a 15-month graduate nursing education curriculum for professional nurses to gain the valuable knowledge of
serving as an educator in a variety of settings, including staff development, patient education, and in schools and colleges.
Deadline for applying for the educational opportunity is March 1 of each year.
