At the Touro School of Health Sciences, our nursing programs are designed to support you at every stage of your career. Whether you’re completing your BSN, pursuing an MSN/FNP, wanting to obtain your FNP certificate after pursuing another clinical specialty, or wanting the terminal degree in nursing as a DNP, you’ll find a path that fits your goals. Our Brooklyn, NY campus offers all nursing programs, while our Westchester campus offers the RN-to-BSN track.
Nursing isn’t a one-size-fits-all path, and neither are the nursing programs we offer. At Touro SHS, each nursing track is designed for a specific stage in your career, whether you’re preparing to become a registered nurse, advancing into nurse practitioner practice, adding a new specialization, or pursuing doctoral-level study.
The BSN program prepares aspiring nurses for licensure as a registered nurse through didactic coursework and hands-on clinical training. For working nurses, the RN-to-BSN track offers a streamlined path to earn your bachelor’s degree and build on your clinical experience.
Designed for licensed RNs with a BSN who are pursuing a graduate degree for the first time, the MSN/FNP program offers a direct path to advanced practice. In just four semesters, you’ll complete graduate-level coursework, clinical hours, and gain the skills to assess, diagnose, and manage care across pediatric, adult, and geriatric populations.
For licensed nurse practitioners, the FNP Advanced Certificate is a streamlined way to add a family practice specialty without completing another degree. You’ll strengthen your ability to assess, diagnose, and manage care across the lifespan, while preparing for AANP/ANCC certification exams.
The DNP is a doctoral-level option for nurses who want to combine advanced clinical practice with leadership and systems-level expertise. Students can enter with a BSN or MSN and complete training as a family nurse practitioner while developing the skills to improve care delivery and outcomes.

From building a foundation in the sciences and nursing practice in the BSN to advancing into areas like pharmacology, health assessment, and evidence-based care in the MSN or DNP, your learning evolves with your role. As you progress, you’ll also develop skills in clinical decision-making, population health, and healthcare systems.
