RN to BSN Program Details

The hybrid online R.N.-to-B.S.N. program is designed for the registered nurse who seeks career advancement by earning the Bachelor of Science in Nursing. The program requires completion of 36-80 credits, depending upon previous college coursework. Students must have a valid R.N. license. Its hybrid online format is ideal for working adults.

BSN Program Details

The traditional four-year Bachelor of Science in Nursing is ideal for entering freshmen and students with general education transfer credits in non-Nursing fields. Entering freshmen and transfer students who do not have a bachelor’s degree are eligible for the baccalaureate program. Freshmen typically complete the program in four academic years; transfer student completion will vary depending upon the number of credits transferred. Upon completion of senior requirements and graduation from the University, students are eligible to take the state board examination (NCLEX-RN) to work as registered nurses.

MSN Program Details

Interested in becoming an advanced practice nurse (APN)? Marymount’s Master of Science in Nursing can provide great career value, enhancing one’s knowledge and skill, while boosting earnings potential.

The demand for advanced practice nurses is increasing as experienced nurses leave the profession and health care needs of an aging population escalate.

Marymount offers two concentrations in its Master of Science in Nursing (M.S.N.):

Family Nurse Practitioner
Nursing Education

Both build on the baccalaureate degree in Nursing and integrate three core content areas: a graduate nursing core, an advanced practice nursing core, and specialty nursing content.

Marymount’s linkages with health care agencies and clinical sites throughout the Washington, DC, area provide students with hands-on skills, preparing them immediately for the rigors and rewards of their chosen specialty.

Accelerated BSN Program Details

The accelerated second-degree B.S.N. program is designed for students who have earned a non-Nursing bachelor’s degree. It may be completed in four semesters.

Doctor of Nursing Practice Program Details

Marymount University offers the highest credential in nursing practice, the Doctor of Nursing Practice (D.N.P.) This degree is available to those with a B.S.N. or non-clinical M.S.N. as well as those with a clinical M.S.N.

Marymount’s D.N.P. will position nurses to meet the increasing demands of the nation’s health care system as it serves a growing and aging population, preparing them to deliver the highest level of nursing practice. The American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) has recommended that by the year 2015 all advanced-practice nurses be prepared at the doctoral level.

The program is practice-focused, innovative, evidence-based, and reflects the application of credible research findings. Graduates of Marymount’s program will gain the highest level of scientific knowledge, be prepared to influence health care policy, and be ready to act as change agents and professional leaders within their organizations and in the field.
