EUGENE, Ore., April 19, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- College Choice (http://www.collegechoice.net), a leading authority in college search and rankings, has published its annual ranking of best master's in nursing degrees. The ranking can be viewed at http://www.collegechoice.net/rankings/best-msn-programs-2016/
Katie Amondson, Associate Editor of the ranking says, "A Master's degree in nursing is often a crucial step in either entering into a career in nursing or advancing a career of a mid-profession nurse. The most common Master's degree for nurses is the Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) which is aimed at mid-career advancement. However, there are MSN options for direct entry into the nursing field, as well as RN to MSN degree options."
