From Elms College:
I am happy to announce that our MSN School Nurse track launched and welcomed new students in the Fall of 2017. Currently I am registering students for our Spring semester that starts on Tuesday, March 20, 2018 and runs through Monday, June 3, 2018. All MSN courses continue to be delivered as asynchronous online; meaning you do not need to be at your computer at a specific day/time and there are no face-to-face classes on campus.
As an added bonus, School Nurses are eligible for a 30% tuition reduction in all MSN required courses. That means for the Spring 2018 semester, tuition rates for School Nurses is $539/credit. Additionally, if you qualify with your employer for tuition reimbursement you are able to submit a form to the college Bursar so that you are only billed for the amount that your employer will not cover.
In the Spring semester we are offering two (2) School Nurse track courses, NUR 665 Principles of Population Health, Public Health, and the Role of the School Nurse 3 creditsand EDU 763 Students with Disabilities 3 credits. You are welcome to register for one or both of these courses even if you have not yet applied to the program. All you need to do is to complete and return to me the attached MSN Course Selection Form.
Once your registration has been processed by the Registrar you will have access to our online course support system, Moodle, where class information/assignments are posted. New students, once they have been accepted into the MSN program or when they have registered for courses, will receive through the mail an email/Moodle address and password. If you have questions about choosing a course or the MSN program please contact me by email or telephone.
MSN Spring 2017 courses start on Tuesday, March 20 and end Monday, June 4. I look forward to seeing you in our MSN classes in the Spring.
