Introduction
Develop the specialized clinical skills necessary to provide compassionate care with confidence as a women's health nurse practitioner in Carlow University's CCNE-accredited online Master of Science in Women's Health Nurse Practitioner (MSN WHNP) program.
The needs of female patients are unique across the entire lifespan and require healthcare professionals who are highly knowledgeable and trained. Carlow's rigorous program educates advanced practice nurses to be clinical experts who serve as leaders of their practice and meet the growing need for women’s healthcare nurses.
The program requires 600 clinical hours and a brief, hands-on residency on Carlow's campus, giving learners the experience they need to be highly skilled nurse practitioners. The program also includes courses focusing on National Certification Corporation, ensuring graduates are prepared to provide quality obstetric, gynecologic and neonatal care to patients.
Students graduate in an average of two and a half years ready to sit for NCC board certification or pursue an advanced degree such as a DNP or PhD. With a 100% board certification pass rate since the program’s inception, Carlow’s WHNP program has a reputation for preparing nurses to be competitive and competent in the field. For learners seeking a higher degree, the program offers a streamlined process into Carlow’s DNP program. Carlow also offers an WHNP certificate for nurses who already have an MSN.
