Master of Science [M.S] [Clinical Nurse Leader] From Georgetown University

According to the American Association of Colleges of Nursing, the CNL is a leader in all settings where health care is delivered. In addition to providing direct patient care, the CNL-prepared nurse “assumes accountability for patient-care outcomes through the assimilation and application of evidence-based information to design, implement, and evaluate patient-care processes and models of care delivery.”To help meet this identified workforce need, Georgetown University School of Nursing & Health Studies has launched a clinical nurse leader (CNL) concentration within its longstanding Master of Science (MS) Program in Nursing. The program is specifically designed for students who have completed a bachelor’s degree or higher in a field other than nursing for master’s-level entry into professional nursing practice.Georgetown’s CNL is a 24-month, six-semester (including two summer semesters), full-time program of study. The first five semesters take place on campus. The final semester consists of a CNL role immersion practicum.
