A Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) is an advanced-level quaternary education degree for Registered Nurses. It is required to become an advanced practice nurse, such as a Nurse Practitioner or Clinical Nurse Specialist and is considered an entry-level degree for nurse educators. It is also a prerequisite for doctorate-level nursing education.
This graduate-level degree may focus in one or more of many different advanced nursing specialties such as acute care, adult, family, geriatrics, neonatal, palliative care, pediatric, psychiatric, women's health, etc.

The term master can refer to sports, hobbies, any number of things. It depends on how the word is used.
