The faculty believe that congruent with advanced nursing practice is a commitment to lifelong education. Students are active participants in the learning process towards their long term goals. Faculty function as patient and student advocates, role models and mentors, assisting and guiding the student in acquiring the knowledge base, critical thinking skills and technical abilities essential for advanced practice. Once the clinical portion of the program begins the second semester, students should anticipate committing approximately 4-8 hours per day to the program to include study and clinical preparation. For part-time students, the load is decreased by half.
All academic costs associated with the program are the responsibility of the individual.
