CLINICAL PRACTICE HOURS
Clinical practice hours are built into the ENP curriculum.

Clinical Hours Total: 270
- Semester 1 – 90 hours
- Semester 2 – 180 hours
Curriculum Overview
The two-semester curriculum is a flexible web-based program with one on-campus application-skills intensive each semester. The program itself consists of two, 6-unit courses (didactic and clinical), and a final case study project. Students take two courses per semester (6 units) for two semesters and complete their case study project in the second semester enabling them to complete the postgraduate certificate in 2 semesters. As an ENP student, you will also have extensive clinical practice immersion in the urgent care and emergency department setting. No extensions within the curriculum are available. For more detail regarding the curriculum, please review the course descriptions (PDF) or visit the WesternU CGN website.
