Program Details
The online Master of Science in Nursing / Family Nurse Practitioner (RN to MSN) degree program from MCPHS University is designed to build upon students' associate's degrees in nursing, allowing them to move seamlessly into graduate-level coursework to earn a MSN-FNP without first earning their bachelor's degrees. Once admitted into the MSN-FNP portion of the program, students expand their education and clinical experience to provide safe, effective, culturally competent and advanced practice nursing care to individuals and families as a member of an interdisciplinary team and in the context of the community. Graduates are eligible to sit for the Family Nurse Practitioner Board Certification exam.
