Rockhurst Online MSN Suite Addresses A Growing Need In the Field Of Nursing

Rockhurst University’s online MSN programmes include MSN-FNP, MSN-AGACNP, MSN Dual Track, and MSN Leadership (MSN Leadership).

Kansas City, MO, United States – September 13, 2022 —

Rockhurst University’s suite of online MSN programs includes specializations in Master of Science in Nursing – Nurse Practitioner (MSN-FNP), Master of Science in Nursing – Adult Gerontology-Acute Care Nurse Practitioner (MSN-AGACNP), Master of Science in Nursing – Family Nurse Practitioner and Adult-Gerontology Acute Care Nurse Practitioner Dual Track (MSN Dual Track) and Master of Science in Nursing – Leadership (MSN Leadership). The MSN suite helps meet the growing demand for advanced nursing professionals across the United States and allows passionate adult learners to prepare for clinical excellence through health care innovation, transformative learning, and quality outcomes.

The United States is facing a nursing shortage, and the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) projects that more than 275,000 additional nurses will be needed from 2020 through 2030. The BLS is also expecting job growth for Nurse Anesthetists, Nurse Midwives, and Nurse Practitioners to be much higher than the national average for all other occupations (45% growth). 

Adults aged 65 and older require a different level of health care and support, including managing chronic health concerns like diabetes, cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, or dementia. Adult-gerontology primary care nurse practitioners (AGPCNP) are essential to fill the growing demand and deliver advanced health care for older adults. However, the American Association of Nurse Practitioners (AANP) reports that with more than 355,000 licensed nurse practitioners (NPs) in the country, only 7% work in Adult-Gerontology Primary Care, and only 2.9% work in Adult-Gerontology Acute Care.
