Now is a great time to pursue an advanced nursing practice. The current nursing shortage
and the move to achieve magnet status within the hospital systems has created a demand
for both academically and clinically trained advanced practice nurses.
The M.S.N. program is designed for working professionals and allows a full-time student
to complete the program in two years. Classes are held on Tuesday evenings and every
other Saturday morning. Students are enrolled once a year in the fall to a specific cohort
and complete all course with that group. The program is focused on nursing education
with one of four clinical specialty areas:
- Medical/Surgical
- Mental Health
- Family Health
- Gerontology
A Clinical Nurse Specialist option is available in the same four specialty areas.
Post-MSN certification is offered for Nurse Educator and Clinical Nurse Specialist.
Part-time options are available for all of the graduate nursing programs.
For specific information about Point Loma's M.S.N. program, please see the
Graduate Nursing Program Web site.
