The Master of Science in Nursing (MScN) program produces graduates with the knowledge, values, attitudes and competencies reflecting nursing philosophy, nature and scope for diverse populations in small urban, northern rural, and remote communities.
The learner will develop a richer understanding of the discipline of nursing and its relationship to the context of health care service delivery and policy issues.
The program also broadens learners' understanding of nursing by encouraging them to engage with scholars from other departments and disciplines and those with other professional experiences.
All streams in the MScN program are delivered remotely, designed for mature learners who do not reside in Sudbury. There are onsite requirements for the Nurse Practitioner program only.
Laurentian University offers 4 masters programs in French and English that focus on research or clinical practice.
All program outcomes are informed by the Canadian Association of Schools of Nursing’s four guiding principles for masters nursing education:
Nurse Practitioner (clinical) Stream [MScN-PHCNP]
The Nurse Practitioner program is delivered with the provincial consortium and does have some onsite requirements, but the program is designed to accommodate students who do not live in Sudbury. There are clinical placements required with certain courses.
Advanced Practice Nursing Stream (course-based) [MScN-ANP]
The Advanced Practice Nursing stream is designed to produce graduates capable of discovering, integrating, applying and disseminating knowledge into their advanced nursing practice. There are ten courses to complete.
Thesis (research) Stream [MScN]
The thesis stream is designed to produce graduates who will contribute to the creation, application, and dissemination of nursing knowledge. There are six courses to complete. Students will then conduct a formal research project and conclude with a formal work defence.
Post Nurse Practitioner Certificate Stream (course-based) [MScN]
Laurentian University has developed an MScN program for people who have previously completed an NP diploma or certificate without a masters degree. The post-nurse practitioner certificate program is a course-based option with no clinical requirements.
