How to Find an Online College That Offers an ARNP Program

Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioners (ARNPs) also are called Advanced Practice Nurses (APNs) and Nurse Practitioners. An ARNP has many of the same duties and responsibilities as a doctor, so the educational requirements to become an ARNP are more stringent than a Registered Nurse (RN). Online ARNP programs that allow you to further your education and increase your salary potential are out there; it's just a matter of finding a program that meets your desired ARNP specialty. Whether it's a specialty in geriatric nursing, emergency room/critical care nursing or psychiatric nursing, there are available online ARNP programs to suit your needs and interests.
