One of the most rewarding ways you can choose to advance your career is through an online master’s degree in nursing education. Technology has made it easier than ever to obtain a master’s degree by taking classes online, making life and school more manageable.
National Nurses Week — May 6–12 — celebrates nurses and educates the public about the nursing profession and its advancement.

Walsh University’s Online MSN program inspires the compassionate nurse, celebrates technological innovation and teaches the next generation of future nurses to influence with visionary leadership. Happy National Nurses Week 2018!
