FNP Admission

NURSING@SIMMONS

Nursing@Simmons offers two online Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) programs that prepare licensed nurses to expand their scope of practice and advance their careers. 

The online Master of Science in Nursing (MSN-FNP) is designed for licensed registered nurses (RNs) who have a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) or a bachelor’s degree with a major in nursing. This program equips students to become an advanced practice registered nurse (APRN) and pursue board certification as an FNP.

The online Post-Graduate Certificate in Family Nurse Practitioner is designed for licensed, certified APRNs who have a graduate degree in nursing (MSN or DNP). This program equips students to pursue board certification as an FNP.

Three start dates are offered throughout the year, and admission is conducted on a rolling basis. The start dates are the same for the MSN and post-graduate certificate program.

The following deadlines are the same for the MSN and post-graduate certificate program. 

Nursing@Simmons offers virtual tours of the online classroom experience. To schedule one or to learn more about other virtual engagement opportunities, please contact the Admission team at admissions@onlinenursing.simmons.edu or 855-461-7466.
