This video provides a great description of the CNL role in healthcare.
Our graduates have an extremely high employment rate and are typically employed in RN roles in various healthcare settings. Graduates who take and pass the CNL Certification Exam are eligible for employment in those roles as well.
If you are not currently an RN, the 麻豆官网首页入口 pre-licensure CNL program is a great way to begin your journey toward these goals. We structure our programs in a way that makes it easy for students to transition to these advanced programs at 麻豆官网首页入口.
Please be sure to check admissions requirements for your program of interest to be sure that you are adequately prepared.
Please note that the DNP programs require a grade of "B" or better on your statistics prerequisite course. If you currently have a grade of "C" in statistics and plan to go directly into the DNP program, you will want to consider repeating this course before beginning the CNL program.
Yes, as long as you have a Bachelor's degree in a field other than Nursing, and meet other admissions requirements, you can be considered for the program.
No, the pre-licensure program prepares individuals to take the RN certification exam upon graduation.
We strongly advise that you do not work while you are enrolled in the program. As a full-time student in an accelerated program, your schedule will be very full and we cannot make any accommodations for a student's work schedule.
Because of the high demands of the CNL pre-licensure program, taking outside classes while enrolled is not allowed without permission from the program director and Academic & Student Affairs Administration.
Our courses are offered during the day-time hours only and the majority of the classes are held in-class, on the 麻豆官网首页入口 and Athens campuses. Some courses do have online components as well. Our students are in class, lab, simulation, or clinical 4-5 days every week.
Students are expected to have a basic knowledge of computer skills and online learning systems.
Students are required to purchase their own laptop computer for use throughout the program. Please for a laptop used for the program. Students are expected to have a laptop that meets all specifications prior to the first day of class.

Our admissions process is competitive and we suggest doing everything you can to meet the minimum criteria in order to be considered by the Admissions Committee.
If you have not completed all of your prerequisite courses, this can be a way to boost your undergraduate GPA if you are able to perform well in those courses. Be sure to send us an official copy of your transcript each time you complete a course so that we can update your calculated GPA.
The CNL program uses ALL academic undergraduate college-level courses attempted to calculate the cumulative undergraduate GPA. I, W, S, U, V, K, and NR are included in the GPA. In addition, we do not honor grade forgiveness or the +/- addition to a grade. Career technical, development/remedial, and military credits do not count as an academic credit.
