List of Direct Entry MSN Programs?

Updated:   Published

Hi everyone! I am trying to put together a list of the direct entry nurse practitioner programs in the U.S. This list is for Masters programs only not DNP programs. If you know of any colleges offering this program can you please comment the name of the school. I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

So far, I know that MGH and North Eastern offer programs.
