Many registered nurses choose to progress more directly and rapidly to an advanced nursing practice role. The Registered Nurse (RN) to Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) provides the opportunity to be admitted to the MSN program without a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) degree.
Registered Nurses enrolled in the RN to MSN program will have 31 SVSU credits granted for their prior nursing preparation/course work.
Many nursing courses are delivered in a hybrid format consisting of a blend of on-campus and online/technology-based courses that can be completed in a part time or full time schedule. In addition, during a semester when two or more nursing courses are offered they are scheduled together thus providing convenience for students.
Clinical experiences in practicum courses are individualized and build on previous learning and experience.
