An RN-to-MSN Pediatric Nurse Practitioner (PNP) program allows registered nurses with an associate degree or nursing diploma to earn both a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) and a Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) while preparing for pediatric nurse practitioner certification.
Compared with traditional BSN-to-MSN programs, RN-to-MSN pathways combine undergraduate and graduate nursing coursework into a single curriculum, reducing the time needed to reach advanced practice.
