Program Details
The MN program applies a masters level approach to the second-degree nursing education. It has a focus in leadership and is a great choice for students wishing to serve in leadership roles within healthcare. Students in the MN program will complete their 15 month generalist program, which allows them to sit for the NCLEX to become a RN, apply to certain MSN specialty programs, apply to post-licensure DNP programs, or apply to CRNA programs.
Only students with bachelor’s degrees in other disciplines are eligible for this program.
*Starting in Fall 2020, the MN program serves as the replacement for the former ABSN on-campus program.
