Overview

Nursing is offered by Vanderbilt University. If you have a bachelor’s degree in another field and want to make a difference as a registered nurse, consider Vanderbilt’s new Master of Nursing (MN) program.

Key Facts

Our fast-moving, comprehensive master’s program prepares highly motivated students to be registered nurses who deliver high-quality, comprehensive care in our changing health care environment. The MN program of study will equip you to take the National Council Licensure Exam for Registered Nurses (NCLEX-RN) to become a registered nurse in just four semesters. At Vanderbilt University School of Nursing, your education is grounded in principles of sound clinical judgment and evidence-based knowledge. You will master the skills and knowledge required of registered nurses as well as introductory clinical teaching skills and advanced competency in interprofessional teamwork, nursing leadership and nursing informatics. But what makes the Vanderbilt MN different from other MN, BSN or even MSN programs is its focus on health equity and health justice. Vanderbilt MN students see their patients through a holistic and health equity lens. They recognize and incorporate respect for each patient’s uniqueness into that patient’s care. They consider not just a patient’s current health needs but the influence of social determinants of health (the non-medical socio-economic, cultural, political, environmental and educational circumstances of an individual that impact their health and well-being) on their current circumstances. As the nurse part of an interprofessional health care team, the Vanderbilt MN registered nurse uses that perspective and knowledge to help provide the best treatment and care. MN program courses are offered full time in a face-to-face format, which means you will need to live within daily commuting distance of Vanderbilt’s campus. The integrated, clinically-focused, accelerated curriculum consists of 65 credit hours and 1,300 clinical hours across multiple spheres of care and with patients of all ages and within multiple populations.
