Are there any ASN to NP bridge programs?


July 8th, 2024

I began my career as an ADN graduate, and now have been an NP for 28 years. You really need the BSN coursees, as the work and responsibilities are so very different. ASN/ADN cannot prepare you for what you will take on as an NP. Finish your BSn and then take a brige program into your NP.

You cannot leap from an associates to a Master's for the minimal NP requirements. You can complete general education towards the bachelor's and then gain the BSN for the core specifics needs of the program which will then bridge you to the Masters.

Walden University has an ADN to NP program you take some BSN courses but do not confer a BSN so some employers may not hire you. I was going to do AG-ACNP there but I wanted to gain experience first.
