Whether you've just begun your career in nursing or have been in the field for years, you know well the benefits, rewards, and opportunities of nursing.

So, why would you want to head back to school now?

The answer is simple. You're on your way to reaching your potential, and the world needs more nurses with master's degrees. In fact, MSN-prepared nurses are in such high demand that advancement through the nursing profession at the clinical, administrative, and research levels requires graduate-level education.

Getting an MSN allows you to fulfill your personal goals as well as meet the healthcare needs of society today. Nurses with an MSN can practice at a higher level of care, thus taking fuller advantage of career opportunities and gaining new levels of autonomy and responsibility. An MSN is also an excellent gateway to a clinical (DNP) or research (PhD) doctorate in nursing.

There’s no better place than the Frances Payne Bolton School of Nursing (FPB) to pursue an advanced degree in nursing. With close, interdisciplinary associations throughout Case Western Reserve University and among some of the nation’s best healthcare institutions, FPB gives you an unparalleled environment of practice, research, and scholarship.

Some highlights of FPB and its MSN program include:

• A dozen different MSN majors, plus subspecialties--from nurse midwifery to adult-gerontology nurse practitioner, from flight nursing to informatics
• MSN students have the option to blend majors or pursue joint master's degree opportunities with other schools at Case Western Reserve University--hence making themselves more marketable to employers
• Many courses offered in nontraditional formats including intensive, web-based, and weekend courses, allowing you to remain at your current job
• As home to one of 10 World Health Organization Collaborating Centers that focus on nursing in the U.S. and one of 38 in the world, dozens of international students and scholars visit FPB each semester

• FPB offers several different entry options to the MSN program, depending on your background and education
