1 Wegmans School of Nursing Master of Science in: Advanced Practice Nursing Program Overview The mission of the program at St. John Fisher College is to provide a stimulating milieu of academic and clinical excellence that challenges the professional nurse to acquire the theoretic and clinical scholarship needed to assume expanded nursing roles in interdisciplinary healthcare settings upon graduation. At this time, the WSON is offering two programs: Family Nurse Practitioner, which qualifies the graduate to seek certification and employment as a Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP). Clinical Nurse Specialist, which qualifies the graduate to seek certification as a Clinical Nurse Specialist in a chosen clinical specialty (CNS). (Adult/Gerontology) Either of these programs prepares the student to continue on to doctoral study, if that is a career goal. Program Highlights 1. Scholarships are available for full- and part-time study. 2. A state-of-the-art Wegmans School of Nursing building. This 40,000 square-foot facility features high-tech classrooms, simulation labs, and computer facilities dedicated to the School of Nursing. 3. All three Nursing programs offer classes in the evening to accommodate working professionals. 4. Clinical placements for School of Nursing students include two Magnet Hospitals, primary care settings, and area associate degree and baccalaureate programs. 5. Two Post-Master s Certificates are currently available. Clinical Learning Experiences The graduate student completes all clinical courses as precepted practicum experiences. The FNP program has a total of 600 clinical hours. The CNS program has a total of 500 clinical hours. It is the policy of the Graduate Nursing program that the student s clinical learning experiences are separate and apart from his/her position of employment. Precepted clinical experiences are in a wide variety of healthcare agencies. In each clinical course, students must be rated as competent by the clinical preceptor and faculty site visitor in order to successfully complete the course. Note: 50% of the clinical hours for Family Nurse Practitioner students must be in primary care settings.

2 Admission Requirements Applicants who present satisfactory evidence of their ability to perform at the graduate level are admitted to the Graduate Nursing Program at St. John Fisher College. The Enrollment Management Committee of the Graduate Nursing program and the director of the graduate program judge the qualifications of the applicants. Two letters of recommendation from individuals who are qualified at the master's level or higher. Please ask that individual s signature includes their highest academic degree. Official transcript(s) showing completion of a baccalaureate degree in nursing from a nationally accredited program with an overall GPA of 3.0 or higher.* Successful completion of undergraduate courses in statistics, nursing research, and undergraduate health assessment (physical examination) with grades of B or higher documented on an official transcript.* Evidence of current licensure as a registered professional nurse in New York (copy of the registration certificate from the State of New York). Submission of a completed Health History and Immunization form to the College s Wellness Center. Health information must be current and valid for the academic year in which the student intends to enter St. John Fisher College. Students must document and maintain current CPR certification, and submit the score achieved on the hospital RN Medication Administration Competency exam. Completion of the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) is optional; taking the GRE may strengthen a graduate application. *Admissions criteria includes priority enrollment for those with a GPA of 3.3 or better, with a minimum undergraduate GPA of 3.0. Students with an undergraduate GPA of 3.0 or better can apply, but due to large numbers of applicants, are less likely to qualify for admission. Post-Master s Certificate Students (additional requirement): Evidence (official transcript) of completion of a master s degree in nursing from a nationally accredited program. Program Requirements Progression Policy Students matriculating into the graduate nursing program must achieve a grade of B (84-86) or higher in GNUR 543, GNUR 570, GNUR 571, GNUR 566, GNUR 567, GNUR 576, and GNUR 577 in order to progress to the next course. If a student does not achieve a grade of B on the first attempt, the student may re-take the course once. If the student does not achieve a grade of B on the next attempt, the student will not be allowed to progress. MS Advanced Practice Nursing: Clinical Nurse Specialist (CNS) (Adult/Gerontology) This track prepares the graduate to provide specialized care to the adultgerontology population. Clinical nurse specialists provide expert care for specified populations and consult, collaborate, and provide evidencebased clinical care. Students are eligible to sit for a national certification exam. Five hundred (500) clinical hours with selected CNS preceptors provide the basis for beginning clinical nurse specialist practice. Note: The following curriculum has been revised, and students accepted into the WSON master s program will have the opportunity to transition to the new curriculum, if desired. If students want to continue with the curriculum noted below, these courses will be offered for three to four semesters in order to allow students to complete the current curriculum, if desired.

Students are qualified for certification as a family nurse practitioner in NYS and eligible to sit for a national certification examination. Six hundred (600) clinical hours with selected APRN preceptors provide the basis for beginning nurse practitioner practice. Clinical placement with MD/DO or PA preceptors will occur as needed; however, NP, CNM preceptors will be prioritized. Post-Master s Family Nurse Practitioner Certificate Program Nurses who hold a master s degree in nursing and wish to become FNPs may obtain the Family Nurse Practitioner Certificate. The post-master s program requires the student to complete course work in the Family Nurse Practitioner program. Students who have already completed an NP program may be eligible for course waivers at the discretion of the program director.
