General Information

Program Description

Northeastern's direct entry nursing program allows you to use the degree and experience that you already have in nearly any field and leverage it into a master's degree in a satisfying, high-demand profession. Nursing-specific classes (including practica) position you to sit for the national certification exam (NCLEX), after which you become a registered nurse and practice in the field full-time for six to nine months. You continue in the graduate program in nursing in a specialty of your choosing which leads you to national credentialing at the graduate level (ANCC).
