As a registered nurse, you already know the benefits of being able to care for patients in any medical or personal situation. You have the skills and knowledge to excel in this rewarding field and you're ready to take your career to the next level. Otterbein College offers accelerated RN to MSN, Master of Science in Nursing, and Post-Master's programs in graduate nursing.
Our graduate nursing programs are designed to provide baccalaureate nurses an opportunity to synthesize knowledge and develop skills for advanced nursing practice, teaching, management, and research. Students may major in Nursing Service Administration, Clinical Nurse Leader, Adult Nurse Practitioner, or Family Nurse Practitioner. Post-Master's Adult Nurse Practitioner and Family Nurse Practitioner Certificate Programs are available for students who already have an MSN degree and want to practice as an advanced practice nurse in adult or family primary care.
MSN students may also choose a concentration in education consisting of three online courses focusing on the role of the Advanced Practice Nurse Educator. This advanced practice nurse educator concentration is also offered as a Post-Master's program. Graduate courses are offered online and via interactive television to five distance sites: Central Ohio Technical College, Hocking College, Marion Technical college, Southern State Community College, and Washington State Community College.
