MS in Nursing with a Specialization in Management and Leadership

Registered nurses are the vital front line in patient care. Charged with day-to-day implementation of policies and practices, you understand the needs of your patients and your organization—and you see the opportunities for improvement.

With the Walden University MS in Nursing with a specialization in Management and Leadership, you can become an agent of change and a leader in your field. Gain the knowledge, skills and influence to affect more lives and make an even bigger difference—for your patients, your organization and the future of health care.

The curriculum is based on the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) Essentials of Master's Education and the American Nurses Association's (ANA) Scope and Standards for Nurse Administrators—the same standards used to create the essentials of magnetism for magnet hospitals.
