DNP Bridge Program

Although the Pace FNP-DNP Program is designed for family nurse practitioners (FNPs), Pace now has an option for primary care, adult, pediatric, geriatric, and women’s health nurse practitioners with master’s degrees who wish to obtain FNP certification as an FNP-DNP. If you are interested in this option, you will need to meet with the FNP-DNP program director who will conduct a Gap Analysis to determine what additional clinical courses and precepted clinical hours will be required.
