MSN - Clinical Nurse Leader (CNL) Track

The clinical nurse leader track prepares an advanced education nurse that will remain at the point of care. The CNL role affords the nurse who enjoys bedside nursing a career path and the opportunity to develop additional leadership skills. The innovative curriculum prepares nurses to function as leaders and change agents within health care microsystems. Graduates from the CNL track will fill a growing gap in health care organizations. CNLs act as clinicians, patient advocates, team leaders, information managers, systems analyst/risk anticipators, outcomes managers, educators, and lifelong learners. This track requires 300 clinical hours. Portfolio options are available for the experienced nurse.
