The value of experience: Its what makes a great nurse educator. And it's also what makes a successful MSN Education nursing student at WGU. With the knowledge and skills you have gained as a registered nurse with a BSN, you'll be a powerful teacher for other nurses. And thanks to competency-based education at WGU, your nursing experience will also empower you to move quickly through material you already know. That lets you focus on gaining the know-how you need to go from BSN to MSN and become an in-demand nurse educator. This online degree program also includes clinical practice experiences such as real-time simulation using immersive virtual reality training. Additionally, you'll have the opportunity to earn the NAHQ (National Association for Healthcare Quality) HQ Principles certificate along with your degree, helping you to boost your resume before you even graduate. WGU's online, CCNE-accredited BSN-to-MSN program will prepare you to teach a new generation of nurses.

Data is unavailable for one of several reasons: In some cases, the institution has not provided the Workforce Board with data to independently evaluate program performance. We encourage all schools to provide this data on an annual basis. In other cases, the program joined Career Bridge recently and student data has not been reported yet. In other cases, the program is too small or too new to provide reliable results.
