There is a rolling admission due to the multiple starting points throughout the academic year.
A total of 260 experiential practice hours are acquired throughout the RN-MSN Educator track.
Cost consists of program tuition (cost per credit times number of credits) as well as any applicable University and degree-specific fees.
The RN-BSN, MSN, and DNP programs at Chatham University are accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education, 655 K Street, NW, Suite 750, Washington, DC 20001, 202-463-6930.
By combining both degrees, nurses can earn their BSN and MSN at a lower cost and in less time. Instead of 59 credits required if taking the programs separately, nurses can complete both degrees with 47 credits by substituting BSN courses with MSN courses that meet the BSN program outcomes.
National nursing organizations, such as the National League of Nursing and the American Association of Colleges of Nursing, have stated that nurses planning a career in education should enroll in programs that provide discipline-specific pedagogy. Here at Chatham, we're excited to offer more options for those interested in nursing education.
