Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) The Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) is intended for the nurse currently holding a Bachelor’s degree seeking career growth. Applicants to the MSN program must hold a bachelor’s degree and a current, unencumbered nursing license. Regent University’s MSN will prepare students in one of two specific nursing foci: Education or Administration. These concentrations are relevant as The American Council of Collegiate Nursing Education (AACN) found these to be the most highly sought, non-nurse practitioner degrees. Furthermore, by creating these two MSN degree concentrations, Regent is participating in the Institute of Medicine’s call for a more educated nursing workforce (Institute of Medicine, 2010). A distinct feature of this degree and other nursing programs at Regent University is the clear alignment with the mission of the university in terms of Christian leadership, cultural change, and global involvement and outreach. Students who complete nursing degrees at Regent University will have a deep and balanced understanding of nursing practice and Christian faith. Nursing Pre-Practicum Requirements The School of Nursing requires the completion of specific health criteria (i.e., CPR, TB test, background check, FBI fingerprinting, and drug screen) for all students. For more information, please contact the School of Nursing Office and refer to the MSN Practicum Guide. Nursing Graduate Studies Progression Requirements An overall grade point average (GPA) of 3.0 or better must be maintained to continue in the MSN program. In addition, a nursing student must achieve a “C” or better in every graduate nursing course. If a student achieves less than a “C” in a nursing course, he/she must repeat the course as directed by the office of advising and nursing faculty. Students must maintain an unencumbered registered nurse license in all states where they are currently licensed throughout the duration of the graduate program and in the state(s) where they fulfill clinical course requirements. W/F will be treated as College of Healthcare Sciences / School of Nursing Page 134
