MA/MS in Registered Nursing, Nursing Administration, Nursing Research and Clinical Nursing

The direct-entry master's in nursing prepares career changers who hold a bachelor's degree in another field to become professional nurses. Students progress through consecutive terms that combine classroom learning with clinical education. Teaching takes place at the Ashburn, Virginia campus, where the simulation center and clinical placements let students rehearse skills before applying them with patients. Graduates become eligible to sit for the national licensing examination for registered nurses. Applicants submit transcripts, recommendations, a resume and a statement of purpose, and must have finished science and statistics prerequisites with strong grades. This graduate program is offered by The George Washington University in Washington, DC, and its official bulletin entry lists the complete course requirements, academic policies and contact details for the sponsoring school. The published credit requirement is 64 credits. Prospective students are encouraged to review the school's admissions guidance and confirm current dates, documents and procedures before they apply, since requirements can be updated from one academic year to the next.
