Master of Nursing

The goal of the MN program at the University of New Brunswick is to prepare nurses for advanced professional roles through course work, as well as meaningful engagement with partnersstakeholders.

The MN program is designed to equip students with an integrative knowledge of nursing leadership, research, theory, and practice. Students are supported to design a program of study that will enable them to advance nursing knowledge and practice in their area of interest.

MN ThesisReport graduates have gone on to assume leadership roles in healthcare, government, and non-government sectors, take-up positions in teaching, academic and research environments, and complete doctoral programs. Nurse Practitioner graduates are working in a variety of primary health care settings across New Brunswick and Canada and may also complete doctoral programs. A significant number of funding opportunities are available to students via teaching and research assistantships, scholarships, and bursaries. Students undertaking thesis research have been successful in securing funding from external funding agencies such as the New Brunswick Health Research Foundation (NBHRF), Canadian Nurses Foundation, the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC), and the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR).
