Advance your career as a neonatal nurse practitioner with É«½äÖ±²¥ University’s NNP program.

The Neonatal Nurse Practitioner (NNP) MSN program at É«½äÖ±²¥ provides you with advanced knowledge, skills, and clinical experiences to care for low- and high-risk neonates, infants and toddlers to age 2, and their families. You’ll learn to provide care in diverse settings, such as neonatal intensive care units, special care nurseries, newborn nurseries, delivery rooms, and developmental clinics.

As an NNP MSN student at É«½äÖ±²¥ University, you’ll be part of the #3 nursing master’s program in the country, according to U.S. News & World Report. Our neonatal program prepares graduates to enter the workforce as practicing NNPs while equipping them as scholars, mentors, educators, and healthcare professionals.

While our neonatal MSN program is primarily distance-based (online with five required campus sessions), you’ll join a small cohort that will become your own community as you support each other throughout your program. Along the way, you’ll learn from expert faculty members who are easily accessible and focus on your success in the classroom and beyond.

Before a student begins NNP clinical courses, they must have the equivalent of 2 years of nursing experience (within the past 5 years) in the care of critically ill neonates or infants in a level III or IV Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU). Students may enroll in preclinical courses while obtaining the necessary practice experience. Students are expected to continue working in the NICU during the program.
