Acute Care programs - no RN experience

Are there any acute care programs that don't require any RN experience?

Thanks for all your suggestions!

There shouldn't be any. Because if they didn't require any at all, you would be so incredibly lost & confused in your program. You need to put in the time at the bedside in the hospital as an RN and get critical care experience before attempting the ACNP. Any program worth their salt is going to require critical care experience before being accepted.
