Completing the Accelerated RN to FNP option with Herzing takes 24 months. If you choose this path you will not earn a BSN.
If you choose to earn your BSN first, you’ll need 12 months to go from RN to BSN, and another 20 months to go from BSN to FNP in our MSN-FNP program—for a total of at least 32 months. If you choose to eventually go from BSN to DNP-FNP, it would take about 44 months (12 + 32).
