SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY
Nursing (MS and Post-Master’s Advanced Certificate) Adult Health or Gerontological The Department of Nursing offers programs leading to the Master of Science (MS) in Adult Health Nursing and the Master of Science (MS) in Gerontological Nursing. Students in the two degree programs take the same courses but focus their course assignments and clinical hours on their population of choice — adults across the life span (adult health nursing) or older adults (gerontological nursing). The MS degree programs have two options: Clinical Nurse Specialist (CNS) and Clinical Nurse Specialist/Nurse Practitioner (CNS/NP).
These programs are designed to meet healthcare workforce needs and to provide opportunities for graduate-level education to baccalaureate nursing graduates. Nurses who successfully complete the programs are prepared to meet the needs of culturally diverse individuals, families and communities and will have a competitive edge in the changing environment of healthcare.
Margaret Lunney Professor, Nursing
LUNNEY’S RESEARCH ADVANCES GLOBAL NURSING CARE
Dr. Margaret Lunney has raised six children, earned four degrees, lectured in several countries, and taught thousands how to excel in the nursing field.
Lunney received an associate’s degree in nursing at CSI in 1973. While working as a nurse on Staten Island, she continued to work as a nurse while raising her family. As much as she enjoyed her nursing work, Lunney felt a pull toward education.
“I decided I could have more influence in education than in practice,” Lunney states. “I’ve taught thousands of nurses who together have had much more influence over patient care than I could have had myself.”
Lunney has built an international reputation for her expertise in standardized nursing languages.
“I credit CSI for setting me off on the right track,” Lunney observes. “I always felt well prepared for my studies after leaving CSI. It is a wonderful college.”
