Nursing Education at Hartwick
This is the latest advancement in nursing education at Hartwick, one of the oldest and most established in New York State. From one of the first U.S. Cadet Nurses Corps programs in 1943 to today, Hartwick nurses have built a reputation as capable and caring bedside nurses and nurse leaders around the country and the world. Now, you can be one of them.
MS IN NURSING EDUCATION
It takes nurses to educate nurses. If you have a BS or a BSN, and at least one year of clinical experience, our Master of Science in Nursing Education will give you the hands-on practice, in-depth theory, and practicum mentorships that will empower you to educate nurses in the classroom and the clinic.
You’ll study theory, policy, and ethics. You’ll learn to create a curriculum and practice writing for publication, grants, and funding. You’ll partner with a mentor who will share their insights and experiences in a practicum designed to fully immerse you as a nurse educator, with workshops, forums, and more.
You’ll also enhance your clinical strengths, with 180 experiential hours in a setting that’s convenient for you. If your clinic isn’t already one of our affiliates, we’ll get that agreement in place. It’s all part of building your strong foundation for nurse leadership.
CAS IN NURSING EDUCATION
Your nursing experience is valuable. If you’ve already earned an MS or MSN, Hartwick’s Certificate of Advanced Study (CAS) in Nursing Education program will position you to take on crucial leadership roles in the classroom and the clinic.
Our online program takes just 12 months, and you’ll work from where you are, partnering with a practicum mentor who will get to know you and your work. You’ll delve deeper into clinical practice with 180 hours of experiential hours in a setting that’s convenient for you. And if your clinic isn’t already one of our affiliates, we’ll get that agreement in place.
Study emerging trends, ethics, policy, and theory. Learn to create a curriculum and how to manage a classroom. Practice writing for publication, grants, and research funding. It’s all part of building a strong foundation for nurse leadership, and it’s all on your schedule.
