Our Online Master of Science in Nursing Program at Denver College of Nursing
For Registered Nurses who want to Reach the Next Level
Our online Master of Science in Nursing program is thoughtfully designed for the professional nurse who wants to advance his or her career with a goal of becoming a nurse leader or nurse educator. Based on a comprehensive curriculum that includes courses in advanced health assessment, advanced pathophysiology concepts and a deep exploration of pharmacology, students also learn leadership and educational theories, teaching strategies, curriculum development and programmatic evaluation, all with an emphasis on culturally appropriate evidence-based nursing practice.
Designed specifically for the working RN who already holds a Bachelor of Science in Nursing degree, this program consists of five-six quarters of study and is typically completed in 15-18 months. Your experienced and dedicated instructors will share their passion for nursing as well as their expertise as they guide you through the curriculum facilitating your acquisition of the knowledge, skills and disposition needed to demonstrate mastery of the student learning outcomes. You will earn 30 hours of practicum experience and complete coursework that will transfer to a Doctorate of Nurse Practitioner program.
As a private institution nationally accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE). DCN is regionally accredited by the Higher Learning Commission, Denver College of Nursing and its faculty of professional and experienced nurse educators can focus all of its resources and attention on a single goal -- preparing students to work as nursing professionals

I’m worried about the technology skills needed for an online program.
