Re: MSN Admission - NP/CNS
At my University, we will admit those with less than 1 year of fulltime RN experience as part-time students. They may enroll in some of the core classes (theory, research, health policy, pathophysiology) that do not require practice experience.
However, you would need to have at least 1 year of fulltime RN experience before progressing to advanced pharm, advanced assessment, the specialty seminars, and the practica.
Not many of our current students fit into this latter category though. For this fall, we had over 200 applications for 70 spaces. Those with practice experience had some advantages over those who had not practiced as nurses. Only a handful of the incoming 70 student have less than 12 months of fulltime practice.
