    Master of Science in Nursing, RN-MSN Bridge Track

    The purpose of the RN-MSN track is to allow carefully selected Registered Nurses who do not possess a BSN to fast-track into the MSN program in order to become primary care nurse practitioners. The nurse practitioners will be skilled in meeting the healthcare needs of individuals and families across the life span. Students have the unique opportunity to work with underserved populations in our community oriented curriculum. Graduates of the program are eligible to take the Family Nurse Practitioner certification examinations and to apply for licensure as Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioners by the Florida Board of Nursing.
