RN to MSN

Preparing You To Excel

Our 100% online (excluding clinicals and residencies) RN to MSN program* is for registered nurses with an associate degree who want to achieve their MSN degree and become nurse practitioners. The program focuses on the advanced clinical skills that are in high demand, professionalism, and evidence-based practice for improved patient outcomes. We offer three concentrations to give you the opportunity to align your education with your career goals: Family Nurse Practitioner, Adult-Gerontology Primary Care and Psychiatric/Mental Health.

Our integrated exam preparation courses provide dedicated study resources that lead to impressive passing rates and graduate success. Wilkes nurses have pass rates on board certification exams that are consistently above the national average.

*A pass-through bachelor of science in nursing (BSN) is not granted as part of the RN to MSN program.
