In
this current era of nurse shortage—which is compounded by the
shortage of nurse educators—nurses with advanced educations
are in greater demand; clinical nurse specialists are urgently needed
to directly meet the challenges of complex patients and design systems
of care that lead to improved safety and outcomes. Clinical nurse
specialists are not only experts at the bedside, but have diverse
roles as consultants and educators to staff nurses and nursing students,
as researchers, and as leaders at all levels of health care. |

The
new curriculum for clinical nurse specialists in adult health and
illness is presented in a Web assisted format offering the convenience
of distance education along with selected on-campus classes within
each course. The “brick and click” combination of hybrid
courses, which includes both distance and traditional classroom learning
activities, is designed with the work schedule of professional nurses
in mind—and the commitment of the faculty to assist students
with their individual learning needs. |
| |
|
| |
Classes
are held at four convenient locations:
• La Salle University’s Main Campus in North Philadelphia
• La Salle University’s Bucks County Center in Newtown,
Pa.
• Pennsylvania Hospital in Center City Philadelphia
• Abington Memorial Hospital in Willow Grove, Pa. |

While
graduate nursing students often receive financial support from their
employers, Federal Professional Nurse Traineeships are available for
those who qualify. The University also supports graduate nursing education
by awarding Graduate Assistantships to qualified students. |

The
La Salle University Nursing Programs are fully accredited by the Commission
of Collegiate Nursing Education. The Nurse Anesthetist track in partnership
with the Frank Tornetta School of Anesthesia at Montgomery Hospital
is also accredited by the Council on Accreditation of Nurse Anesthesia
Educational Programs. |
