These overarching outcomes for all MSN program/tracks reflect the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) Essentials. More detailed student learning outcomes can be reviewed in the MSN Handbook.
A MSN advanced practice registered nurse (APRN) will integrate theoretical and clinical expertise to demonstrate mastery of specific population focused student learning outcomes. The student learning outcomes specific to advanced nursing education for practice specialties include:
- Formulating plans of care for population-specific diagnoses.
- Delivering educational and therapeutic interventions using advanced health assessment, pathophysiology, pharmacology, and genetics.
While program curricula prepare students to sit for national certification within their role and population area, APRN graduates may be required to complete additional state specific requirements before being permitted to practice.
