Hi all,

As you may know from my posts, I'm a NICU level 3 nurse right now, about 8 months in. I'm looking to take the GRE by the end of the year and within five years or so enter into an NNP program. Being a lover of lists and organization, I've done some research over the last few days and have compiled a list of all the NNP programs in the U.S. that I've found.

Ways that I searched

American Academy of NPs programs-

allnursingschools.com-

Whoo! Exciting : ) 35 universities with NNP programs! Let me know if you come across any broken links or you know of other NNP programs out there! I didn't include a few that were "linked" to another major university because you have to take the neonatal portion at the major university (on this list) so those websites are a bit misleading.

Over the next few weeks, I'll post my observations from their websites and research I can find about the programs, like is it online? (yuck!), rankings, etc.

Re: NNP complete list!

I think that UCSF has a NNP on campus. Is there such a thing as an online NNP?

Re: NNP complete list!

Right you are! It's actually pretty frustrating that there is no complete list anywhere.

I can't edit the post, but here's UCSF's link: http://nurseweb.ucsf.edu/www/spec-ped-neo.htm

There are some online classes (Rush comes to mind) although you still need to do clinicals (you can arrange it in your own place) physically and you still need 2 years of NICU experience, one of them level 3.

Re: NNP complete list!

Argh, annoying. Seems like they're popping up everywhere despite my thorough search...

Indiana Universiy http://nursing.iupui.edu/degrees/msn/neonatal_np.shtml

Re: NNP complete list!

Louisiana State university Health Sciences Center in New orleans has an NNP school

Re: Complete list of NNP programs

Thanks for the great thread! I'm going to sticky this and rename the thread to show up in searches better. I'll also try to add some myself.

I added the new finds (UCSF and IU) to the original post...

Re: Complete list of NNP graduate programs

NStiger, I couldn't find a link to the LA school you mentioned. Can you post it here?

Re: Complete list of NNP graduate programs

My dream is to enroll and complete the NNP program @ Columbia in NYC. I want to work at the hospital where I was once a preemie (New York-Presbyterian).
