ENTRY OPTIONS: RN TO MSN BRIDGE

MSN Home Entry Options Admission Requirements Program Requirements Progression Requirements MSN Majors STAT 201-Equivalent Courses Contact Us Application Forms Newly Admitted Students

FPB offers bridge programs for nurses seeking either a BSN or an MSN degree. Registered nurse graduates of an associate degree or diploma nursing program may enter the MSN program after completing undergraduate prerequisites for graduate level nursing courses.

Therefore, the RN to MSN bridge entry option may be the quickest, most efficient way to attain a Masters degree in nursing, even for those who have not yet attained their BSN. However, a graduate degree in nursing may not be for everyone--to explore the RN to BSN option, click here.
