BSN to MSN programs

Nurses General Nursing

Published

Hi all, this might be a dumb question but does anyone know about getting a MSN degree online for FNP? I have been trying to do research but most online programs are for Clinical Leadership or Nurse Educator. I am assuming this is because if you're 100% online, clinical's wouldn't be included. I still thought I'd ask in case anyone knew. TIA!

i know several people that have done an online MSN The biggest hurdle they had was finding their own clinical site.

Many of the programs for FNP have switched form the MSN to the DNP level. If you are looking at individual schools to see what programs they offer, you might not be finding them at the MSN level at those particular schools. Those same schools might offer a DNP program focused on the FNP role.

You might want to just search for FNP programs in general (just Google "Family Nurse Practitioner Programs" and you'll get a big list. If you are only interested in MSN-level ones, just focus on those. If you are interested in either MSN or DNP, you'll find lots of choices out there.
