School of Nursing and Health Professions

NURSING (NURS)

Description of the MSN Program
The MSN Program at the University of the Incarnate Word is designed to prepare Clinical Nurse Leaders for practice in a variety of settings. Additionally, in response to the national shortage of nurses prepared for the faculty role, the UIW MSN program prepares all graduates for entry-level positions as clinical instructors.

The Clinical Nurse Leader (CNL) is a generalist prepared at the Master’s degree level. In practice, the CNL is a leader who oversees the care coordination of a distinct group of patients and actively provides direct patient care in complex situations. Using research evidence as a foundation for decision-making, the CNL ensures that patients benefit from the latest innovations in care delivery. The CNL evaluates patient outcomes, assesses cohort risk, and has the decision-making authority to change care plans when necessary. The CNL is primarily unit or setting based and is responsible for a specified cohort of patients.

The UIW MSN program prepares the graduate with skills in evaluating the needs of a population and using research evidence to design care and measure outcomes. Knowledge of nursing theory, epidemiology, culture, and health policy helps the CNL design care aimed at reducing health disparities for defined populations. Basic financial, information management, research, and leadership skills prepare the graduate to synthesize data to evaluate and achieve health care outcomes. Graduates will be prepared to enter doctoral study.

There are two options for study. The first is the basic MSN program consisting of 36 hours and can be completed in three semesters, including a summer, going full-time. Part-time study is also available taking one or two courses a semester. Additionally, the program offers a combined MSN/MBA degree taught in conjunction with the H-E-B School of Business and Administration. This involves the basic MSN program of 36 hours and the requirements for the MBA degree. Admission to the MBA program must be made through the School of Business.

Admission Criteria

Applicants for the Master of Science in Nursing Program must meet the following admission requirements:

  1. Completion of a baccalaureate degree in nursing from a NLN or CCNE accredited program which includes courses in statistics and health assessment.
  2. An undergraduate cumulative GPA of 2.5 or above, with a 3.0 GPA in upper-division nursing courses.
  3. Three professional references.
  4. A license to practice nursing in the State of Texas or in the multi-state compact (party states).
  5. One year of relevant professional nursing practice is preferred but not required.

Criminal Background Screening
Criminal background screening is completed on all students applying for admission into the graduate nursing program. The School will designate a company to do the background screening and will not accept results from any company other than the one designated by the School. Students pay expenses related to all screening. A student with a significant criminal background or a current conviction may not be allowed to register for graduate courses until the Board of Nurse Examiners for the State of Texas (BNE) issues a declaratory order stating the individual is eligible for licensure or license renewal or determines that the individual is eligible to return to practice. If a BNE reportable event occurs during the time the student is enrolled in the program, the student will notify the Dean or MSN Chair within 3 days of the event. The Dean along with the MSN Chair will determine if the student is eligible to continue in the program.

Applicants who must answer “yes” to any of the following questions MUST contact the Board of Nurse Examiners and file a petition for a declaratory order. Go to www.bne.state.tx.us.

  1. Have you been convicted, adjudged guilty by a court, plead guilty, no contest or no contendere to any crime in any state, territory or country, whether or not a sentence was imposed, including any pending criminal charges or unresolved arrest (excluding minor traffic violations)? This includes expunged offenses and deferred adjudications with or without prejudice of guilt. Please note that DUIs, DWIs, PIs must be reported and are not considered minor traffic violations. (One time minor in possession [MIP] or minor in consumption [MIC] do not need to be disclosed, therefore, you may answer “NO”. If you have two or more MIPs or MICs, you must answer “YES”).
  2. Do you have any criminal charges pending, including unresolved arrests?
  3. Has any licensing authority refused to issue you a license or ever revoked, annulled, cancelled, accepted surrender of, suspended, placed on probation, refused to renew a professional license or certificate held by you now or previously, or ever fined, censured, reprimanded or otherwise disciplined you?
  4. Within the past five (5) years, have you been addicted to and/or treated for the use of alcohol or any other drug?
  5. Within the past five (5) years, have you been diagnosed with, treated, or hospitalized for schizophrenia and/or psychotic bipolar disorder, paranoid personality disorder, antisocial personality disorder, or borderline personality disorder?

If you are currently participating in the Texas Peer Assistance Program for Nurses you may answer, “NO” to questions #4 and #5.

Drug Screening
Drug Screening may be required by some clinical agencies. The School will designate a company to do the drug screen and will not accept results from any company other than the one designated by the School. The student will pay the cost of the screening at the time of the testing.

A student who has a positive drug screen will not be allowed to participate in clinical courses. The student will be required to complete, at the student’s expense, chemical dependency evaluation and treatment, if recommended by a drug assessment. Any student with a positive drug screen will be suspended for a minimum of one calendar year and will be required to provide documentation of successful treatment prior to being readmitted to clinical courses. If readmitted, the student must be retested by the School approved laboratory and have a negative drug screen. This testing is at the student’s expense.

Liability, Health and Needle Stick Injury Insurance
Students are required to be covered by liability insurance. Students must also be covered by health insurance. Limited health insurance coverage is offered by the University. Needle-stick injury insurance is also required and is included in that offered by the university. A fee for needle-stick insurance will be assessed for students with other policies unless the student can show provision by existing insurance coverage.

CPR and First Aid
Students must show evidence of being current with their CPR certification. This requirement is necessary for all students prior to entering the graduate program, and renewed as needed throughout the graduate nursing program. Evidence of CPR certification must be presented no later than the first day of the first class taken. Information about CPR courses is available at the San Antonio Division, American Heart Association.

Health Requirements
Graduate nursing students are required to provide proof of up-to-date immunizations (MMR, TD, Hepatitis B and Varicella) and TBC skin test or chest X-ray prior to admission to classes in compliance with the Health Care Provider terms of TAC 97.63. Additionally, flu immunization is required annually.

The University Health Office will determine if immunizations are current. The TBC skin test will be provided by the University Health Office for a small fee or may be done at the San Antonio Metropolitan Health Department. If a TBC skin test is contraindicated or is found positive, then evidence of medical follow-up with recommendations must be presented.

If for any reason, any required immunization is contraindicated, the student is required to present a record of medical evaluation and recommendations.

Students are responsible for reviewing and updating individual health records at the University Health office as they progress in the program.

Additional health requirements may be required by some clinical agencies.

Criteria for Continuation and Graduation:

1. Maintenance of an overall GPA of at least 3.0.
2. Recommendation for graduation by the graduate nursing faculty.
3. Completion of a minimum of 36-semester hours as required by the curriculum plan.

To be credited towards the MSN degree, all required courses must be completed with a minimum grade of “B”. Students who achieve a grade of less than a “B” must repeat the course for a higher grade unless it is an “F”. An “F” in the course is an automatic dismissal from the graduate program. The student may apply for readmission after one year. No more than two courses in the major may be repeated and no course may be repeated more than once.

Up to six (6) hours of credit may be applied if transferring in from another accredited nursing program. These six hours must be in nursing and relate to the UIW MSN program.

HEALTH INFORMATICS (HINF) (Implementation Pending)

Health informatics is the study of how health-related data is collected, stored, communicated and transformed into health information to serve decision-making processes within the healthcare system. With the advent of the electronic patient records and rapidly increasing information needs of managed health care, it is widely recognized that informatics specialists will be in great demand for the foreseeable future. Health informatics serves the need for quality information, which, in turn, permits better decision-making and ultimately better service to the health care consumer whether well, or ill and infirmed.

Health informatics is an interdisciplinary program, focused on the common aspects of informatics that apply across health care disciplines. We judge that the multidisciplinary focus will expand the potential pool of students to all disciplines from medicine to physical therapy. Many potential students would be currently employed in information management positions in health care facilities, often without benefit of formal education in informatics.

The program consists of 40-42 semester hour sequence of coursework in systems theory, information management and project management applied to health care. This curriculum is designed to provide the student with in-depth theoretical and practical experiences that bring information technology to bear on the decision-making within health care organizations.

Students will participate in interdisciplinary team projects encompassing real world informatics challenges. All core coursework is interdisciplinary and designed to provide the graduate with a set of skills that will enable them to compete for jobs in the fast growing world of health informatics. Electives will allow the student to tailor the program of study to suit the needs of his/her discipline or preferred occupational role.

Graduates of this program will be able to participate in the creation and development of health related information systems and in their maintenance. Completion of the coursework within the program would provide the educational qualifications for the individuals to seek existing certifications in informatics. Currently certification in Nursing Informatics is available for Registered Nurses through the American Nurses Credentialing Center although a period of experience in an informatics related job would also be required to attain this certification.

Health Informatics Learning Outcomes:

The graduate of the Health Informatics Program will be an effective user, developer, and manager of health information technologies. Graduates will be able to advance knowledge and decision-making in health care through practice, research, consultation, and facilitation of communication via information technologies.

Prerequisites for admission to the MS program in Health Informatics:

A competency test will be utilized to determine the functional level of applicants. For example: A case study requiring the use of Word®, Powerpoint®, Excel® and perhaps the creation of a small database will be used to measure not only technical competence but also verbal and critical thinking skills.

*Students without health related backgrounds may be required to take coursework in medical terminology and health care systems).
