Fort Worth, TX – Texas Wesleyan University’s MSN-Family Nurse Practitioner (MSN-FNP) program is offering pathways to admission for qualified Registered Nurses with GPAs slightly below the standard 2.8 overall requirement. The program aims to address the growing demand for advanced practice registered nurses, notably FNPs, by providing options for applicants who demonstrate potential for success.
The MSN-FNP program equips nurses with the skills and authority to independently lead patient care, including diagnosing illnesses and prescribing medications. Graduates can pursue diverse career paths, from rural clinics and urgent care centers to telehealth and private practice, impacting communities and specializing in areas they are passionate about. The program also integrates the business aspects of healthcare, providing a comprehensive understanding of practice operations.
To be considered for the MSN-FNP program, applicants must hold an unencumbered RN license in the state where clinical hours will be completed and a Bachelor’s degree in nursing from a nationally accredited program. While a minimum 3.0 GPA in upper-level nursing courses and a 2.8 overall GPA are typically required, prospective students with GPAs below 2.8 are encouraged to contact the program at 817-785-9307 to discuss alternative admission pathways.
The submission process includes submitting a resume, three professional or academic references, and official transcripts, followed by a virtual interview. Detailed application details is available on the university’s admissions page: https://nursingpractice.txwes.edu/admissions/.
Graduates of the program gain the ability to make independent care decisions and manage treatment plans, a meaningful shift from customary nursing roles.
