Entry Level-MSN

We are pleased to announce that California State University, Fullerton, Department of Nursing is admitting students to the Entry Level Master of Science Degree in Nursing (EL-MSN) option each Fall semester. The EL-MSN option, designed for students with an undergraduate degree in a field other than nursing, provides the coursework and clinical experiences needed to qualify students for licensure as a registered nurse (RN) and also awards a Master of Science Degree in Nursing (MSN).  

The EL-MSN degree will produce critically needed nursing graduates who will:

  • demonstrate safe, competent nursing care for a variety of patients across the continuum of care;
  • assume clinical leadership in various health care settings;
  • improve patient care by collecting data and creating and implementing plans of care in collaboration with an intradisciplinary health care team;
  • implement evidenced-based research, outcomes-based practice, and quality improvement strategies; and
  • manage complex systems of care that are cost effective and responsive to the health care needs of the community and society.

 

The curriculum of the EL-MSN option provides students with scientific, clinical, and professional foundations upon which to build sound and safe nursing care. Coursework (18 months) will provide theoretical knowledge and clinical experiences in the areas of Medical-Surgical, Maternal/Child, Mental Health/Psychiatric, Geriatric, and Community-based nursing that qualifies the student for RN licensure.  The core program also includes courses in nursing theory, epidemiology, healthcare policy, ethics, and professional role development.  Graduate level courses (18 months) will provide advanced health assessment, pharmacology, pathophysiology, concepts of leadership and administration, as well as clinical preceptorship experiences designed to help the student assume a beginning clinical leadership role. 

THE DEPARTMENT OF NURSING APPLICATION IS AVAILABLE ONLINE FROM OCTOBER 1st THROUGH NOVEMBER 30th EVERY YEAR.
