Free to Leverage a Wealth of Patient Experience
Drexel's Master of Science in Nursing (Nursing Education and Faculty Role) is designed for working nurses looking to shift careers toward teaching a new generation of clinicians.
With nursing the top job growth industry in the nation, hundreds of experienced professionals are needed to train those entering the field. U.S. nursing schools each year turn away more than 40,000 qualified applicants to baccalaureate and graduate nursing programs, primarily due to insufficient number of faculty.
