I have been looking at NP programs in the state of Illinois. Most of them require a general Master's. Some of them don't require you to have a general Master's degree, but in their program, you do end up taking those classes anyways. An example of this is the NIU's (Northern Illinois University ) nursing program.So my questions is this: are there any programs available that let you take the NP classes without taking the general MSN classes?I'm pretty sure the answer is no. But through all my research, maybe I missed a program or two that has this option. I don't want to take the general MSN courses. It doesn't interest me. I know :-(
