Master of Science in Nursing
Administration & Leadership

A Master’s in Nursing can equip you with the skills, advanced training, and licensing you’ll need to provide superior nursing care in a specialized role, such as a Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist or a Clinical Nurse Specialist. Earning an MSN degree could be a critical step in your healthcare education, allowing you to pursue a career that might deliver some of the services physicians can offer their patients.

With a Master’s in Nursing, you might choose one of these advanced practice areas: Certified Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA), Clinical Nurse Specialist (CNS), and Certified Nurse Midwife (CNM). Other common jobs for nursing graduates with an MSN degree include Nurse Executives, Ambulatory Care Managers, and Long-Term Care Executives.

Though it depends on the individual school, MSN programs can often be completed in two years. However, you can also pursue an entry-level MSN program if you already hold a bachelor’s degree in another subject. These programs typically take about three years to complete.

On average, nurses with an MSN degree earn about $86,000. However, this figure depends on the type of job you’d like to pursue. 

For instance, here are salaries for some jobs available to professionals with a Master of Science in Nursing Administration & Leadership degree: Nurse Executives, who often retain salaries of $182,339 per year; Ambulatory Care Managers, who typically receive annual salaries of about $119,613; and Long-Term Care Executives, who tend to possess salaries of $167,352 per year.
