THE BEST HEALTHCARE COMES FROM PEOPLE WHO WANT TO CARE FOR EVERYONE.
The American Rescue Plan has opened the doors of affordable health care to more than 528,000 people since January 2021.* With more people gaining access to care, healthcare workers, particularly nurse practitioners, are in high demand. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts employment of NPs to grow by 45% between 2019 and 2029.
Hawai‘i Pacific University’s 100% online MSN program with an FNP specialization prepares BSN-credentialed nurses to provide a greater level of medical care, achieve increased autonomy, and practice transcultural care in the spirit of aloha – love, kindness, grace, and unity.
