Practical Aspects of Completing the IWU Graduate Nursing Program


One of the greatest benefits of earning your Master's degree in nursing online is the simplicity of the virtual classroom. You need only concern yourself with learning, and not with campus matters or difficult computer technology. IWU is your home base for all your work, course information, contact information, discussions, and technical support. With the experience centralized to one site, your focus need only be on earning your Master's degree in nursing.

To successfully earn your Master's degree in nursing, you should commit to at least 12 to 18 hours a week to complete your class work. Creating a study routine is just as important with online education as it is in the traditional environment.

IWU designed the Master's degree in nursing program to reiterate what you learn through multiple learning opportunities. You learn through traditional reading and writing assignments and you also learn through discussion by actively engaging with your fellow students. Most importantly, you learn by "doing" through workshops, independent projects, and a practicum in your specialization. All three learning methods used in the Master's degree in nursing program are critical because they teach skills used daily in the nursing work environment.


The Graduate Nursing Practicum Course


As with any Master's degree in nursing program, we require you to demonstrate your proficiency both as a nurse and as a student. In both the nursing administration track and the nursing education track, one of your courses requires work experience, or a practicum. To learn more about our Graduate Nursing degree and about setting up your practicum, call the IWU admissions department at 888-IWU-2-DAY (888-498-2329) or send an email to info@IWUOnline.com.


Required Computer Skills


To begin IWU's Master's degree in nursing program requires only a basic understanding of computer technology. You will only need to know how to create and type a document in Microsoft Word, how to post a message to a discussion board, and how to research a subject on the Internet. As you progress through the program, your proficiency with Word, Excel, and Internet technologies will be systematically enhanced. However, if you ever have trouble, our technical support staff is happy to help you by phone, email, and online.

If you have a question concerning one of your Master's degree in nursing courses, your instructor is the best person to turn to. And the best and quickest way to have your technical questions answered is to visit IWU's online support website.
