“I knew I didn't want to be a nurse manager and I didn't want to be a nurse practitioner. Now I can be in a leadership role and still be bed-side.”

Curriculum
A Rigorous Curriculum Focused on Evidence-Based Practice and Quality Improvement Strategies
Your first two semesters will include "core" graduate nursing courses. Because the CNL® program is heavily based on leadership and evidence-based practice, those courses are placed early in the curriculum. Clinical practice is introduced in the last three semesters.
The 37-credit program is comprised of the following 14 courses:
