Specializes in RN working in Gen Surge.

I have an associate in Nursing and a Bachelors in science. My goal is to become an FNP, but I do not want to go back and get another bachelors degree. Are there any MSN programs that will accept a Nurse with a non-nursing bachelors degree?

RN to Master’s Degree: Designed for nurses with associate degrees, RN to MSN programs take about 2 to 3 years to complete with specific requirements varying by institution and based on the student's previous course work. Though most programs are offered in classroom settings, many are delivered largely online or in a blended classroom/online format. The baccalaureate-level content missing from associate degree curricula is built into the front-end of these degree completion programs. The number of RN to MSN programs has more than doubled in the past 25 years with more than 200 programs available today.

Just remember that these programs are usually "all or none"...meaning that if you decided to drop out partially through the program you will not be conveyed a bachelor's degree....you're just out the money and time.
