Earning an MSN can increase your earning potential and help you advance through UPMC’s My Nursing Career Ladder, opening new leadership, management, and job opportunities. Plus, when you earn your MSN from Chatham, you’ll obtain advanced nursing and leadership skills that you can immediately practice in your job.
