What is a Post-Master's Certificate?
Post-Master's Certificates (PMC) are specializations offered to individuals who already possess a Master's or Doctoral Degree, building on baccelaureate and graduate coursework to prepare for a future in specialized nursing. A Post-Master's Certificate offers the ability to further specialize and augment your education in addition to your MSN, in many of the same ways. With a PMC, you can provide care to patients across multiple generations, help victims of crimes in health and legal settings or make a positive impact on the nursing faculty shortage and educate future nurses.
As a master’s-prepared nurse, you understand the importance of continuing your education and the value that graduate degrees bring to health care. Not only does your MSN degree distinguish you as a nurse, it highlights the in-depth education and specialty you’ve chosen to focus your nursing career in.
With a post-master’s certificate in nursing, you can take that focus a step further ― you can enhance your comprehensive understanding in a similar area of focus, or you can choose a new area of focus to expand your professional expertise as a nurse. Adding additional expertise to an area of focus in nursing not only helps to increase potential career opportunities, but it also aids your efforts to provide quality patient care in today’s evolving health systems.
