MSN/Clinical Nurse Leader or Certified Nurse Educator

Pacific Lutheran University - School of Nursing ETPL
Our MSN program is designed for the working nurse, with most students working 0.5-0.6 FTE while enrolled in this traditional, on-campus program. Classes have generally been held on one evening and one full day, plus additional hours for practicums. The exception to this has been summer and J-Term courses, as days and times vary. Class dates are subject to change from one year to the next, and none of the classes are offered online. Clinical experiences are usually during the day or evening shift, depending on preceptorship requirements (which are heavier toward the end of the program). We encourage applicants with flexible work schedules to accommodate varying class times and practicums flexible work schedules to accommodate varying class times and practicums. Students in this program will complete either a Clinical Nurse Leader (CNL) or Certified Nurse Educator (CNE) track.
