School of Nursing
RN-BSN/MSN
The RN-BSN/MSN track offers online courses for registered
nurses pursuing the BSN and MSN degrees in nursing. Through the acceptance
of transfer credits, CLEP testing, and challenge examinations, the School
of Nursing strives to apply the RN's previous learning experience towards
the requirements of the BSN degree.
Post-BSN
Certificates
The Post-BSN Certificates are offered as a way for baccalaureate-prepared
nurses to learn specialty skills that might not have been offered in their
baccalaureate-degree programs. The faculty recognize that, in the changing
health care delivery climate, nurses need more specialized knowledge and skills
as practice roles change. At Duquesne University, we address this need by
offering Post-BSN Certificates: Nursing Informatics and Registered Nurse First
Assistant (RNFA).
Master
of Science in Nursing
This program is designed to meet the current and future needs
of nurses who are prepared to plan, initiate, effect, and evaluate change
in the health care delivery system, insure quality patient / consumer care,
and enhance the profession of nursing. The faculty has a commitment to fostering
a creative and flexible environment where students can pursue scholarly excellence.
The learning process is viewed as a shared experience where students are encouraged
to actively participate with the faculty in scientific inquiry and research.
Post-Master's
Certificates
The Post-Master's Certificates are offered as a way for master's-prepared
nurses to learn specialty skills that might not have been offered in their
master's degree programs. The faculty recognizes that, in the changing health
care delivery climate, nurses need more specialized knowledge and skills as
faculty and advanced practice roles change. At Duquesne University, we address
this need by offering five post-master's certificates: family nurse practitioner
(FNP), psychiatric-mental health nursing, transcultural nursing, nursing education,
and nursing administration. The programs range from 12 credits (nursing education
and transcultural nursing) to 34 credits (FNP).
PhD
Program
The School of Nursing Doctoral Program is designed to provide
core content in nursing theory development and research and practical experience
in a functional role, clinical specialty, or research activity.
