Nurse educators play a crucial role in training and educating current and future nurses, with responsibilities that include teaching, curriculum development, clinical instruction, research, student mentorship, and professional development. This concentration is ideal for those aiming to teach in academic settings, such as community colleges, where a master\u2019s degree is sufficient, or to educate patients and staff within healthcare facilities.

A limited number of applicants can be accommodated. In cases where there are more qualified applicants than slots available, the Robert E. Smith School of Nursing Graduate Program accepts the most qualified who apply. Specific role focus availability is dependent on sufficient enrollment in the specialty area. Full-time (four semesters) and part-time (six semesters) plans of study are an option for the nurse educator and nurse practitioner students. MSN courses are online. All enrolled students must have access to a computer, internet connection, and basic computer and internet skills. Application deadline is <strong>February 1.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There are two types of admission available for the graduate program in nursing: Full Admission and Admission with Conditions.<\/p>\n<p>Students considered for Full Admission to the Graduate Program for both the MSN degree and Post Master\u2019s Certificate in the Robert E. Smith School of Nursing must meet the following requirements:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Apply to Delta State University Graduate School and meet admission requirements as outlined in the Delta State University Graduate Bulletin.<\/li>\n<li>Meet admission requirements to the Robert E. Smith School of Nursing Graduate Program as follows:<\/li>\n<li>Baccalaureate degree in nursing with a minimum GPA of 3.00 overall.<\/li>\n<li>Completion of Robert E.

Individuals who hold a restricted license may or may not be eligible for admission.<\/li>\n<li>Completion of an interview conducted by Robert E. Smith School of Nursing faculty.<\/li>\n<li>A grade of \u201cB\u201d or better on a graduate level pathophysiology course (prerequisite).<\/li>\n<li>A grade of \u201cC\u201d or better on an introductory course in Statistics.<strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Each student will be required to submit a completed health and immunization form provided by the Robert E. Smith School of Nursing, evidence of personal health insurance and current BLS certification (infant, child, adult) after being accepted for admission.<\/p>\n<p>All students must comply with Mississippi legislative statutes and regulations regarding criminal background checks by having fingerprints taken and a criminal background check completed. Any cost of this requirement will be the student\u2019s responsibility.<\/p>\n<p>Students who want to receive credit for prior nursing course(s) taken at another institution must submit a written request with supporting documentation and credit be negotiated before admission to the Robert E. Smith School of Nursing and not after the student is enrolled.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><strong>Non-degree Seeking Students<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The non-degree student is enrolled in graduate courses but not admitted to a degree program in the Robert E. Smith School of Nursing. To enroll as a non-degree student, the student must seek admission to the university and obtain permission from the Chair of Nursing. A non-degree seeking student may enroll in non clinical courses: NUR 601 Advanced Theoretical Issues in Nursing and Ethics, NUR 603 Advanced Pathophysiology (pre-requisite for Educator and Practitioner students), NUR 604 Advanced Healthcare Policy and Politics.[\/vc_column_text][\/tab][tab icon_family=&#8221;fontawesome&#8221; title=&#8221;Curriculum&#8221; id=&#8221;1770827240703-7&#8243; tab_id=&#8221;1770827240704-5&#8243; icon_fontawesome=&#8221;fa fa-file-text&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<h2>Curriculum<\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]The courses below are required to complete the MSN as a full-time or part-time student.
