The majority of master’s in nursing programs in Montana require that you have completed your baccalaureate in nursing and have a current RN license. However, there are a number of RN to MSN programs that accept students with a nursing diploma or an associate’s degree in nursing.

Nurses in Montana with a master’s education have a unique opportunity to positively impact the rural areas of the state. There is a large demand for nurses with an MSN to work in the rural areas of Montana, but these nurses are also being called upon to develop outreach programs in much needed areas such as mental health, cancer support, alternative healing, and pediatrics.

MSN programs will focus in various areas including, but not limited to, leadership and management, public health, health care management, and various levels of integrative care. Nurses considering pursuing a master’s degree might also be interested in pursuing a degree in an area of advanced practice nursing such as nurse practitioner, clinical nurse specialist, or nurse midwifery.
