|
The Department of Nursing at California State University, Fullerton, attracts motivated
and capable nurses committed to improving professional nursing and health care through
clinical practice, health education, leadership and management. This program is
specifically designed for registered nurses wishing to advance their career through
an accelerated program of study combining undergraduate (BSN) and graduate (MSN)
level courses leading ultimately to a Master of Science in Nursing degree, and including
eligibility for certification in public health through the State of California.
We facilitate and support educational mobility and leadership abilities for nurses
who have a foundation in the profession that was obtained through an associate degree
or diploma program. While the program normally entails nine semesters of full-time
study, courses are offered as well to allow part-time study for working nurses.
The MSN program is accredited by the Commission on Colleges of Nursing Education
(CCNE).
The demand for professionally educated nurses is increasing to meet the needs of
a more complex and changing health care system. The purpose of the ADN to MSN program
is to provide registered nurses with the additional knowledge, skills and experience
necessary to meet the challenges of tomorrow’s nursing professional. The program
is designed to foster interdisciplinary collaborative skills and independent functioning
within a focused specialty area, called an MSN concentration. At this time, the
Department's accelerated ADN to MSN Program is designed for students wishing to
pursue a master’s in administration.
