This program offered by the University of Phoenix was created to help nurses gain knowledge of both nursing and healthcare related business skills in order to keep up with today’s modern health care systems. This program integrates key skills and coursework from both degree programs together to ensure students gain the knowledge they will need in order to both examine and evaluate the current trends and issues that affect health care. This MSN program was made for nurses who would like to pursue a more advanced position within the health care environment. It helps to blend nursing theory and some advanced practice concepts together to help create a successful candidate for this field. There are three major areas covered: core, major, and cognate. The core focuses on the major backbone information needed for the MSN degree. This includes theory and research. The major includes things such as managing families, administration, and education. The cognate portion of the program focuses on MHA content which includes subjects such as finance, policy, economics, marketing, and planning. Public health, long term health care, and basics of health care are included. Once complete, graduates of this program can better identify their specific role within the health care field and use it to help and influence others.
