@Femisola The CNL program is actually 65 credit hours at about $800 per credit (In-state). You can view the fall/spring plan of study here https://www.nursing.umaryland.edu/academics/grad/clinical-nurse-leader/ It's just not an accelerated program like GW. In addition you can also use up to 250, I believe of your clinical hours to put towards a future DNP/PhD program at UMSON in the future if you choose to purue a higher degree, so it actually creates quite a few clinical options. The CNL exam is simply another exam you have option to sit for upon completion of the program in addition to sitting for the NCLEX and receiving an RN license as you would through any ABSN/BSN program. So this just offers another career path or opportunity to pursue if you choose to. I does not limit your job prospects to the CNL position only. That being said, I have heard amazing things about GW, so congrats on your acceptance! I just wanted to clarify in case other were contemplating the idea of the CNL program.
