How does the MIDAS program differ from other types of accelerated programs?
The MIDAS program is unique in that it prepares students for the Clinical Nurse Leader (CNL) role. The CNL is an advanced generalist prepared at the master’s level (http://www.aacn.nche.edu/CNl/faq.htm). Students who successfully complete the MIDAS program graduate with a Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) degree, are eligible to sit for the National Council Licensure Examination for registered nurse (NCLEX-RN). In addition, graduates are also eligible to sit for the Clinical Nurse Leader certification exam as well as the holistic nurse certification exam. A Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) is not offered within the MIDAS program.
