Introduction

Gain the comprehensive clinical knowledge, training and confidence necessary to become a highly qualified FNP through Carlow’s online Master of Science in Nursing Family (Individual Across the Lifespan) Nurse Practitioner (MSN FNP) program. Taught by expert faculty who are still practicing in their fields, the MSN FNP program prepares learners for a successful and impactful FNP career and board certification. Graduates will be prepared to work with families, elderly patients and children in chronic and urgent care settings.

Rooted in the traditions and values of the Sisters of Mercy, the CCNE-accredited program has a reputation for producing some of the region’s most highly qualified and well-prepared board-certified nurses. The online MSN FNP degree requires 600 hours of clinical experience and a brief, hands-on residency on Carlow's campus, ensuring graduates are not just competent but confident in their ability to deliver ethical and compassionate patient-centered care.

Students graduate in an average of two and a half years ready to sit for AANP or ANCC national board certification and fill in-demand healthcare roles. Carlow’s MSN FNP graduates have had 98-100% board certification pass rates over the past three years. For learners seeking a higher degree, the program offers a streamlined process into Carlow’s DNP program. Carlow also offers an FNP certificate for nurses who already have an MSN.
