Master of Science in Nursing: Dual Acute Care Pediatric and Adult/Gerontology

What is an MSN in Dual Acute Care Pediatric and Adult/Gerontology?

CUW's dual acute care program prepares nurses to care for patients with complex health conditions in pediatric, adult and geriatric populations.

Why study dual acute care at CUW?

• Develop a broader skillset to provide advanced care in high-acuity settings where patients need it most.
• Urban settings: With the requirement for acute care credentials increasing in urban hospitals, CUW's dual acute care program offers nurses the flexibility to explore adult and pediatric acute care.
• Rural settings: Hospitals in rural areas are seeking nurses that can work across the entire patient continuum. CUW's dual acute care program enables advanced practice nurses to fill that gap.

CUW is investing in tomorrow's nurses with our School of Nursing Wing. Every aspect of the nursing wing is shaped by the lived experience of nursing education and practice.
