The Master of Nursing (Professional Stream) at Dalhousie University, Faculty of Health, is a 30 credit-hour, course-based, non-thesis graduate program. It is designed to prepare registered nurses for advanced roles in professional practice leadership, policy, and management within health systems. The curriculum covers practice-related theory and research, and includes seminars and academic paper writing to deepen practice change leadership and evaluation competencies. The program is offered primarily online (blended/distance delivery), enabling both full-time and part-time study, and is suitable for those seeking career progression in leadership or advanced practice rather than nurse practitioner practice.
