Program description

For individuals who want to further their nursing education, Memorial University offers fascinating Nursing programmes. Students enrolled in online Master of Science in Nursing (MScN) programmes can interact with classmates from all around the country while continuing to work. The programme equip advanced-level nurses to contribute to evidence-informed practise and provide change leadership at both the system and individual levels in a variety of practise settings.

Master of Science in Nursing (MScN) - There are two tracks in the MScN programme: 1) Practicum (course-based) and 2) Nurse Practitioner (NP). Students in the Practical option learn to integrate and synthesise philosophical viewpoints, ideas, research, and skills through their online course work and practicum assignments. Students select a practicum assignment that is relevant to their interests and work environment. The two-term project allows students to consolidate their learning, address a real need for change, and exhibit advanced nursing practise competencies.

Nurses in the Nurse Practitioner option receive advanced training to practise as NPs in a range of practise settings. The curriculum consists of online courses, on-campus learning and evaluation sessions lasting a week, and preceptor-supervised clinical practise. NPs have increased knowledge and decision-making abilities in the assessment, diagnosis, and management of common and complex illnesses.
