Overview
Illinois State University’s BSN to DNP – Family Nurse Practitioner sequence prepares you for an advanced practice role, with an emphasis on integrating preventative and self-care measures, as well as the diagnosis and management of commonly occurring acute and chronic health conditions. Throughout the program, you will participate in and use research, and learn about the implementation of health policy and about health education of individuals and groups. This sequence is renowned for providing an outstanding experience for students. Designed by doctoral-prepared faculty who still actively practice, the program mixes online and on-campus education to offer the flexibility you need and quality learning experiences that will take you to the top of your field. Our BSN-DNP program is special in many ways, but an added benefit is our students are eligible to sit for FNP certification and apply for licensure upon completion of FNP coursework mid-program, allowing you to practice as an APRN while finishing the remainder of your DNP coursework.
