The Master of Science Nursing Infection Prevention and Control specialization teaches experienced nurses to create programs and monitor critical infection control indicators in healthcare delivery systems. Students will develop expertise in epidemiology, data management, and data mining that improves patient care and develops infection prevention and control policies for ensuring patient safety. The specialization emphasizes understanding the infrastructure necessary to improve nursing practice while safeguarding the security and privacy of data. Graduates will be prepared to assume critical roles managing health risk and safety systems in ambulatory, acute, and long-term care settings, as well as in the public health environment. American Sentinel's Master of Science Nursing Infection Prevention and Control specialization was created using guidelines from the Certification Board for Infection Control and Epidemiology and the Quality and Safety Education for Nurses guidelines sponsored by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. American Sentinel College's MSN, IPC specialization, was created following similar principles that are outlined in the Infection Control Professional Detailed Content Outline developed by the Certification Board for Infection Control and Epidemiology, Inc. The Master of Science Nursing, Infection Prevention and Control specialization prepares students to attempt the Certification in Infection Control (CIC) credential examination. Post University does not guarantee certification. Professional credentials include requirements outside of education, which may include exams, background checks, work experience, and more. It is ultimately the responsibility of individual students to be in charge of their own certification process and to make sure that all requirements are met in obtaining certification. Post University does not speak on behalf of any licensing board or body. The Certification Board of Infection Control and Epidemiology issues the CIC. The full requirements for the CIC can be found here: https://www.cbic.org/CBIC/Get-Certified/Get-Started.htm The Master of Science Nursing degree programs are post-licensure nursing programs. This means that students must already be licensed as an RN and hold a BSN degree to be accepted for admission and must maintain an active and unencumbered RN license throughout their enrollment in their program. The Master of Science Nursing programs are designed to expand graduates' knowledge base, to enhance their marketability as an RN, and to permit them to enjoy greater career mobility and expand their options as an RN. Some states may offer licensure or certification opportunities for nurses beyond the RN, and individuals obtaining such licensures or certifications may be able to secure employment in a position other than RN. Our MSN degree programs are not designed to enable graduates to obtain any such licensure or certification in any state, or to secure any form of employment that might require such licensure or certification. Students should check with the applicable licensing authority in the state in which they expect to work in order to ensure that our accreditation and curriculum meet the state's eligibility requirements for the specific licensure or certification sought and that successful completion of our MSN degree program will further their career interests.Student may also require the following resources or services for completion of the program.  These items are provided by and payable directly to a third party and are not billed by the University to student's accounts.- Shadow Health - $90 to $110- Shadow Health Pharmacology (MSN NP Programs only) - $90 to $110- EHRGo (Nursing degrees) - $45 per 12 weeks- Navigate 2 Scenario for Health Care Finance - $25- 3P Exam Fee (MSN NP Programs only) - $35- Typhon Clinical Tracking (MSN NP Programs only) - $90- SPSS (Business degrees) - $43 for 6 months- Books - $150 per course estimate.

Fees vary by state.- Costs associated with clinical preceptorship: Each student in the MSN - Nurse Practitioner program is required to find their own clinical preceptor. Students struggling to find a clinical preceptor may choose to contract with a company that specializes in finding the nearest available clinical preceptors. Students should understand, however, that there is typically a service fee charged by these companies that is not covered by the Nurse Practitioner Program Clinical Fee.
