Overview
The Master of Science in Nursing with a Parish Nursing (PN) specialty is an interdisciplinary program that prepares nurses to serve within churches or other religiously based settings as nurse specialists in spiritual aspects of patient care.
Students enrolling in the PN specialty should familiarize themselves with the general MSN coursework. Nurses who already have an MSN from APU or another institution may enroll in a Post-Master’s Certificate program to obtain their PN specialty.
