Master’s Education in Nursing March 21, 2011 The Essentials of Master’s Education in
Nursing reflect the profession’s continuing call for imagination, transformative thinking,
and evolutionary change in graduate education. The extraordinary explosion of knowledge,
expanding technologies, increasing diversity, and global health challenges produce a

3. dynamic environment for nursing and amplify nursing’s critical contributions to health care.
Master’s education prepares nurses for flexible leadership and critical action within
complex, changing systems, including health, educational, and organizational systems.
Master’s education equips nurses with valuable knowledge and skills to lead change,
promote health, and elevate care in various roles and settings. Synergy with these
Essentials, current and future healthcare reform legislation, and the action-oriented
recommendations of the Initiative on the Future of Nursing (IOM, 2010) highlights the value
and transforming potential of the nursing profession. These Essentials are core for all
master’s programs in nursing and provide the necessary curricular elements and
framework, regardless of focus, major, or intended practice setting. These Essentials
delineate the outcomes expected of all graduates of master’s nursing programs. These
Essentials are not prescriptive directives on the design of programs. Consistent with the
Baccalaureate and Doctorate of Nursing Practice Essentials, this document does not address
preparation for specific roles, which may change and emerge over time. These Essentials
also provide guidance for master’s programs during a time when preparation for specialty
advanced nursing practice is transitioning to the doctoral level. Master’s education remains
a critical component of the nursing education trajectory to prepare nurses who can address
the gaps resulting from growing healthcare needs. Nurses who obtain the competencies
outlined in these Essentials have significant value for current and emerging roles in
healthcare delivery and design through advanced nursing knowledge and higher level
leadership skills for improving health outcomes. For some nurses, master’s education
equips them with a fulfilling lifetime expression of their mastery area. For others, this core
is a graduate foundation for doctoral education. Each preparation is valued. Introduction
The dynamic nature of the healthcare delivery system underscores the need for the nursing
profession to look to the future and anticipate the healthcare needs for which nurses must
be prepared to address. The complexities of health and nursing care today make expanded
nursing knowledge a necessity in contemporary care settings. NGR 5110 The Role of Good
Leadership Skills in Nursing ProfessionThe transformation of health care and nursing
practice requires a new conceptualization of master’s education. Master’s education must
prepare the graduate to: • Lead change to improve quality outcomes, 3 • Advance a culture
of excellence through lifelong learning, • Build and lead collaborative interprofessional care
teams, • Navigate and integrate care services across the healthcare system, • Design
innovative nursing practices, and • Translate evidence into practice. Graduates of master’s
degree programs in nursing are prepared with broad knowledge and practice expertise that
builds and expands on baccalaureate or entry-level nursing practice. This preparation
provides graduates with a fuller understanding of the discipline of nursing in order to
engage in higher level practice and leadership in a variety of settings and commit to lifelong
learning. For those nurses seeking a terminal degree, the highest level of preparation within
the discipline, the new conceptualization for master’s education will allow for seamless
movement into a research or practice-focused doctoral program (AACN, 2006, 2010). The
nine Essentials addressed in this document delineate the knowledge and skills that all
nurses prepared in master’s nursing programs acquire. These Essentials guide the
preparation of graduates for diverse areas of practice in any healthcare setting. • • • • •

4. Essential I: Background for Practice from Sciences and Humanities o Recognizes that the
master’s-prepared nurse integrates scientific findings from nursing, biopsychosocial fields,
genetics, public health, quality improvement, and organizational sciences for the continual
improvement of nursing care across diverse settings. Essential II: Organizational and
Systems Leadership o Recognizes that organizational and systems leadership are critical to
the promotion of high quality and safe patient care. Leadership skills are needed that
emphasize ethical and critical decision making, effective working relationships, and a
systems-perspective. Essential III: Quality Improvement and Safety o Recognizes that a
master’s-prepared nurse must be articulate in the methods, tools, performance measures,
and standards related to quality, as well as prepared to apply quality principles within an
organization. NGR 5110 The Role of Good Leadership Skills in Nursing ProfessionEssential
IV: Translating and Integrating Scholarship into Practice o Recognizes that the master’s-
prepared nurse applies research outcomes within the practice setting, resolves practice
problems, works as a change agent, and disseminates results. Essential V: Informatics and
Healthcare Technologies 4 • • • • o Recognizes that the master’s-prepared nurse uses
patient-care technologies to deliver and enhance care and uses communication technologies
to integrate and coordinate care. Essential VI: Health Policy and Advocacy o Recognizes that
the master’s-prepared nurse is able to intervene at the system level through the policy
development process and to employ advocacy strategies to influence health and health care.
Essential VII: Interprofessional Collaboration for Improving Patient and Population Health
Outcomes o Recognizes that the master’s-prepared nurse, as a member and leader of
interprofessional teams, communicates, collaborates, and consults with other health
professionals to manage and coordinate care.
