\"22154818211_28038db456_k\"<\/a>Winona State University has been identified as having one of the top graduate nursing programs in America, ranking 36th out of 50 by the Top Master\u2019s in Healthcare Administration<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Top Master\u2019s in Healthcare Administration uses guidelines from the American Association of Colleges of Nursing to research graduate schools based on program flexibility, faculty involvement in the healthcare field, and tuition cost.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur graduate nursing program has a long history of excellence,\u201d Dean of College of Nursing and Health Sciences William McBreen, Ph.D., R.N., said. \u201cFeedback from alumni and employers of our graduates is consistently very high and reflective of the level of commitment our faculty has to graduating outstanding nurse leaders.\u201d<\/p>\n

WSU nursing faculty has also been recognized regionally and nationally for innovation, teaching excellence, and community engagement. This recognition includes a past award from the National Organization of Nurse Practitioner Faculty (NONPF) for outstanding faculty practice program.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are very pleased for the acknowledgement by Top Master\u2019s In Healthcare as one of the best 50\u00a0graduate nursing programs nationwide,\u201d Sonja J. Meiers, Ph.D., RN, Director of the Department of Graduate Nursing said. \u201cWe are honored to be among this group of academic peers with an award highlighting our reputation as a program of value in demand, flexible, and led by faculty at the \u2018head of the class\u2019 in practice, experience, and knowledge.<\/p>\n

The WSU Master\u2019s Nursing Program was praised by Top Master\u2019s in Healthcare Administration for its clinical affiliations with Alina Health, Gundersen Lutheran Health System, the Mayo Clinic Health System and Mercy Medical Center, its flexible programs that accommodate working professionals, and its wide range of specializations available.<\/p>\n

“I have a family and I work full-time,\u201d Jen Ellefson, 2015 graduate of the adult gerontology acute care nursing program said. \u201cWhen the Winona State University-Rochester Acute Care Graduate Nursing Program became available, I thought this was my chance because my classes and clinical rotations were at WSU-Rochester and Mayo Clinic. Some days are challenging and long days, but it has been the best decision for my nursing career.\u201d<\/p>\n
