Entry Option: MSN Completion Program
RN with National Certification in Advanced Nursing Practice Entry Options
This MSN completion program is designed to assist certified advanced practice nurses to complete an MSN degree. Registered nurse applicants must have a BSN from an accredited nursing program. Applicants must have certification from a national accrediting organization as a nurse practitioner, clinical nurse specialist, nurse midwife, nurse anesthetist, or AORN first assistant. The national certification in advanced nursing practice takes the place of the clinical coursework in the specialty where the person holds certification. An MSN can be obtained by completing 18 credits (6 courses) at FPB. These include the core courses in Inquiry, Professional Development, and Advanced Practice.
