3 year NP programs, accelerated?

Nurses General Nursing

Published

I already have my bachelors degree in history and I'd like to become a NP but I don't want to first go through an RN program which could take up to 2 years then find an NP program which can take another 2 years or longer. I know of Cal State LA and Western university also in CA that have 3 year NP programs. First you get your RN then move right into NP. Can someone suggest any others programs like this anywhere in the country? I am open to going anywhere to do this. Or if you have some other suggestion I am not yet thinking of, do let me know too.

Thank you all in advance for your help and suggestions.

My suggestion would be that if you don't want to be an RN that you look into PA programs. NP and PA have similar jobs and pay but you don't need to be an RN to go to PA school. There are PA school that you graduate with an associates, bachelors and masters degree.

Vanderbilt in TN and Emory in ATL offer similar programs. Emory's program is extremely accelerated. You can finish the entire program RN to NP in 2 years depending on what NP specialty you pick.
