Pre-Licensure Clinical Experience
Master of Science in Nursing Entry (MSN-E)
Students in the Master of Science in Nursing Entry (MSN-E) program will be required to complete 1395 clinical hours in the curriculum.

Clinical experiences will begin in the first semester of the program.
Simulated Patient Experiences in the Nursing Simulation Center
Clinical experience in the new high-tech high fidelity simulated patient skills center enables you to apply what you鈥檙e learning in class to simulated patient scenarios.
These nursing simulation experiences offer you an opportunity to develop your critical thinking abilities, demonstrate your mastery of skills, and observe outcomes of computer-programmed 鈥渂reathing,鈥� 鈥渉eart-beating鈥� mannequins, while faculty provide feedback on your work.
Real Patient Clinical Experiences
During the pre-licensure portion of the program you will also have real patient contact concurrent with your regular coursework totaling 990 hours. This is nearly 20% more than the requires and one of the reasons our students experience such high pass rates on the RN licensure examination.
As a student in the 鈥淣ursing for Adults and Older Adults,鈥� the 鈥淧ediatrics,鈥� or 鈥淐ommunity Health鈥� courses, you will have a clinical day each week corresponding with the material you are learning in class. These experiences occur in a variety of settings, including acute-care hospitals, sub-acute nursing care facilities, community-health and public-health organizations.
