NNP Programs

Published

Does anyone know of any reputable online programs for NNP? I'm a NICU nurse thinking about pursuing NNP. I'm also a wife and mom and won't be able to "move out" to attend the program in a classroom setting. However, I do realize most of these NP programs require a visit to the campus several times...which is fine. Any information would be appreciated. Thanks!!

Yes as long as you meet the requirements for admission, the big thing being NICU RN experience. I’ve recently went through all the schools and virtually all of them require at least 2 years on Level III/IV

So right now, I am in school to become an FNP. I have three years of full-time Level III NICU RN experience and now I am casual in a Level III NICU. I could go and get a post-masters certificate as an NNP if I changed mind?

Yes, as long as you meeting the other requirements for the school. It's not common for FNP but there are folks who frequently do PNP and then NNP for various reasons. Some schools require the experience to be within a certain number of years.

Yes, we have at least one FNP obtaining her NNP cert in my group.

I am attending Rush University's DNP-NNP program, with expected graduation coming up this December. At Rush, prior to COVID, you had two mandatory campus visits (skills week and DNP defense) in the four year program (I'm part-time).

I love Rush. The Neo classes are amazing!
