ADMISSION REQUIREMENTS: MSN COMPLETION PROGRAM
RN with National Certification in Advanced Nursing Practice Entry Options
This MSN completion program is designed to assist certified
advanced practice nurses to complete an M.S.N. degree. Registered nurse applicants must have a B.S.N. from an accredited nursing program. Applicants
must have certification from a national accrediting organization
as a nurse practitioner, clinical nurse specialist, nurse midwife,
nurse anesthetist, or AORN first assistant. The national certification
in advanced nursing practice takes the place of the clinical
coursework in the specialty where the person holds certification.
A Masters of Science in Nursing can be obtained by completing
18 credits (6 courses) at the Bolton School. These
include the core courses in Inquiry, Professional Development,
and Advanced Practice.
