Nursing MSc potgrad
Hi,
Adult Nurse here. I have completed a post graduate certificate at level 7 (masters level in England) worth 60 UCAS points. Been thinking about doing a distance learning postgrad to top up to a masters but wondering if it is worth it or not?
The NHS doesn't really seem to reward further education but likes to see it when you apply for a promotion. And more and more nurses are getting MSc it seems and I don't want to be left behind.
Is doing a MS worth the investment in your time and money and will I see a return on investment for my hard work?
Having done a PgC that took a year I feel I didn't get much from it other than investing a lot of my time.
Regards

Hi sorry noone has replied. I've moved this from the Postgraduate Applications forum to the Nursing and Midwifery forum where it will hopefully get a response.

Doesn't this statement contradict itself a bit? A lot of senior posts expect to have studied at masters level and some even expect study beyond that. If you work in specialist areas they expect you to have taken specific courses to apply for senior roles, so in a way it does reward further education.
Was your PG course relevant to your area of practice? Is thee anything in clinical practice that interests you? It's worthwhile pursuing a course that is clinically relevant in something that interests you, that way it makes you more employable and you interest will keep you engaged with your course.
