Get to know the MS in Nursing (Direct Entry) program
The Direct Entry Nursing Program at Northeastern University empowers students to use existing work experience and education to launch their careers. It begins with 16 months of nursing-specific courses to acquire your Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) and prepare you to sit for the National Council Licensure Examination (NCLEX-RN). That’s followed by 1–2 years of practice, and then completion of your education as an advanced practice nurse with a master's degree.
