Simmons College ( Boston , MA ) DIRECT ENTRY PROGRAM IN ADVANCED NURSING PRACTICE. The Direct-Entry Program application deadline is Nov. 1 for May entry.
The Direct Entry Program in Advanced Nursing Practice is designed to prepare individuals with a baccalaureate degree but without nursing backgrounds for the advanced practice nursing role (nurse practitioner). The program is a three-year, full-time program beginning each year in early May that incorporates an innovative curriculum with substantial clinical experience especially designed for this group of students. Students are eligible to take the nursing licensure examination at the end of the second fall semester. They must pass the exam before beginning the graduate primary care clinical sequence. Students will be eligible to sit for the licensure exam after the second September semester, which upon successful completion, will give them the designation of R.N. (registered nurse). In addition to taking graduate courses during the following two semesters, students will have full-time clinical internships in surrounding acute care institutions. This experience will provide them with the experience they need before beginning the primary care sequence. More info at:
