Looking for Non GRE, direct entry, online NP program for RNs with a non nursing BS

Does such a thing exist?

I have a health sciences BS, and MBA in health care administration

I got done with my ADN and RN, and just finished my orientation in a ICU step down unit...as I get into the swing of things at work, I want to move onto an ARNP role by doing an online MSN/NP with (ideally) a specialization in Adult acute care.

In that case would I be able to do my preceptored clinicals at my place of work? or would i have to look for them online? I know the answer is going to be "it depends"! But seriously, does anyone know of such a program?

I am in Cincinnati, OH, but if its online program then I guess it does not really matter where I am at!

Also as a second option am looking for a similar FNP program where they will arrange the clinicals for you in the local area...in which case it will have to be in the Cincy area..?

    If you want adult acute care, then you should pursue an ACNP program. A FNP program focuses on primary care.

    State Boards of Nursing in recent years have been changing their views on FNPs working in any inpatient setting. Here in Virginia I know of dozens of FNPs who were hired in the past to work inpatient care and are now being told to obtain post-Masters ACNP certification or lose their positions.

    Some places frown on doing clinical at the same place where you work; just be aware of this. I agree that FNP is not the best fit if you want to practice in a hospital.
