Regent’s MSN will prepare you in one of two specific nursing foci: education or administration. You can specialize your master’s in nursing program by picking one of three concentrations—nurse educator, nurse leadership & management or the multidisciplinary APRN. While the nurse educator concentration prepares you to develop effective ways to educate nurses, the nurse leadership & management concentration focuses on organizational leadership skills. According to the American Association of Colleges of Nursing: “With new practice opportunities emerging, and the demand for highly specialized nursing skills rising, the time is right for you to begin your graduate-level nursing education. The earlier in your career you complete your formal education, the longer your professional life and the higher your lifetime earnings will be.”1
