MSN Nurses Expand their Practice with Rockhurst’s Online Post-Master’s Programs
Jan 16, 2023
Rockhurst University helps meet the demand for specialized nurses across the United States with two flexible and affordable post-master’s programs for MSN holders.
Kansas City, MO, United States - January 16, 2023 —
As the general population ages, technology advances, and a generation of nurses retire, the need for specialized nurses in the United States is critical and pressing. According to the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), nurse practitioners with a master’s degree or higher are one of the most in-demand professions in the country, with a 46 percent job growth outlook (much faster than the average of all other occupations). In addition, a post-master’s nursing program prepares MSN holders to expand their scope of practice and improve health outcomes for individuals in need of specialized care.
Rockhurst University’s Online Post-Master’s FNP program (Second Degree MSN-FNP) and the Online AGACNP Post-Master’s Certificate allow Master of Science in Nursing degree holders to prepare for advanced management roles, diversify career opportunities, differentiate themselves in the workforce, and learn in-demand skills related to technology, leadership, and policy. Both programs can be completed in just four semesters with 100% online coursework and full clinical placement services provided.
Discover Rockhurst’s Online Post-Master’s FNP Program
Rockhurst’s Post-Master’s FNP program allows registered nurses with an MSN degree to enrich their skills, further their careers, and enjoy personal achievement, greater flexibility, higher salary options, and the opportunity to choose a more traditional work schedule. In this affordable program, students can choose from one of three start dates and complete the required four semesters in as little as 1.25 years, in a flexible online format. The program covers themes such as advanced practice nursing, evidence-informed quality improvement, leadership, systems, and policy.
After completing the post-master’s FNP program, a graduate can confidently work as a family nurse practitioner (FNP). In 2021, nurse practitioners earned an average of $123,780 per year, with the most experienced FNPs earning approximately $200,540 per year (source: BLS).
Rockhurst’s Online Adult-Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner Post-Master’s Certificate Program (AGACNP Post-Master’s Certificate)
In 2019, Americans aged 65 or greater represented 16% of the total population. By 2040, this representation will rise to 21.6%. The majority of older Americans report having one or more chronic conditions and 22.3% of the population age 65 to 74 considered their health as either fair or poor (source: ACL). As a result, the aging population accelerates the demand for nurses who specialize in treating older adults with acute and complex conditions in areas like cardiology, oncology, and endocrinology. Rockhurst’s Online AGACNP Post-Master’s Certificate program enables nurse practitioners to build on existing clinical competencies and develop specialized knowledge for adults and seniors.

Additionally, the Online Post-Master's FNP program and the Online AGACNP Post-Master’s Certificate are both accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE).
