Can I Complete My MSN Degree Fully Online?

Most nursing degrees at GCU require some form of direct clinical experience or practicum that allows students to demonstrate achievement of clinical competency at the baccalaureate or master’s levels. For many online nursing programs, students complete their clinical requirements in their local community. Many students find that these experiences not only enhance their knowledge of leadership and public health but also lead to meaningful change in their local health organization or community.
