Play a pivotal role in nurse training and education, earning your master’s degree in nursing education online at Adelphi, one of New York’s top online nursing graduate programs, on a schedule that fits your needs.
With a master’s degree in nursing education, you’ll gain the skills to instruct students, evaluate their performance, and design and implement innovative approaches to nursing education. While working in higher education is one potential career option, a Master of Science in Nursing Education will also prepare you for other careers, like educating nurses in clinics and hospitals, a clinical supervisor role in healthcare settings, or as a consultant for teaching institutions.
At Adelphi, you’ll prepare to impact the next generation of nurses.
Pursuing a Master’s in Nursing Education degree at Adelphi University has been life changing. Learning from exemplary and expert teachers in a supportive learning environment gives me a great opportunity to grow professionally as I develop my role as a nurse educator. I am excited and look forward to helping impact the future of nursing.
Gratitude is shown for Adelphi faculty, students and alumni from the College of Nursing and Public Health who are battling the coronavirus pandemic.
Nursing education students have two options to further their nursing education:
Become a nurse-scholar and contribute to the development of the field, advancing healthcare through teaching, research and leadership.
Available to strengthen the administrative or clinical capability of master’s degree-prepared nurses who are planning on or are already involved in a role expansion or change.
These certificates are designed for students who already hold a master’s degree in nursing and have clinical experience but who now wish to become more involved in education or pursue an educational role.
At Adelphi, we believe hands-on experience is key to setting our students up for future career success. This is why we ensure our nursing education master’s degree students have firsthand medical experience through internships and out-of-the-classroom opportunities in the New York area. For fully online MSN students, we will also facilitate internships and clinical experiences at healthcare institutions in your geographic region. Below are some of the locations at which you will have the opportunity to enhance your nurse educator skills through internships:
On our main Garden City campus, we offer our nursing education students uniquely tailored clinical experiences by simulating the hospital setting. We do this through the latest tools and technology available in our state-of-the-art simulation lab. The lab provides our students with the highest-quality simulation technology in a safe learning environment so they receive the education, practice and exposure they need when applying for their first job.

Students have access to two simulation manikins:
During a high-fidelity simulation, a faculty member provides remote support to nursing students to guide them through a variety of clinical scenarios.
Telepresence robots like this one are used for remote monitoring in CESiL’s home-care suite as well as in the growing home healthcare field. They enhance both nursing and healthcare informatics students’ educational experience.
For College of Nursing and Public Health nursing students, learning in the various CESiL simulated settings and situations is like training in a real hospital. That experience was especially invaluable in the midst of the pandemic, nursing students said.
By practicing their clinical skills in a realistic hospital setting and learning how to safely and accurately administer medications, nursing students become well prepared for their first RN jobs.
Here, a cohort of students addresses an emergency code situation with a high-fidelity manikin and gains experience in electronic medical record processes. Various manikins, supportive supplies and state-of-the-art equipment enable faculty and students to translate theory into practice.
Faculty use this pediatric manikin to train their students in everything from routine to emergency experiences. When used with an obesity suit, the manikin enables nurses to learn about the treatment of child obesity, a growing problem in the 6-to-9 age bracket.
Victoria, a high-fidelity maternal simulator manikin, arrived at CESiL with two baby manikins in March 2019—able to simulate a complete range of situations that nurses may face in the delivery room, from typical neonatal care to obstetric emergencies.
Applicants for the nursing education master’s degree program must have a minimum 3.0 GPA and a B or above in all science and nursing classes, and should submit the following:
The Master of Science in Nursing Education prepares students as nurse educators competent to function in a variety of academic and clinical settings.
