Most FlexPath FPX nursing tracks require a BSN before entering a DNP program. However, some RN to DNP bridge programs allow experienced nurses to bypass the BSN and go straight to a doctorate.

To qualify, you typically need:

  • Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN)
  • Active RN license
  • Minimum GPA and prerequisite coursework
  • Clinical experience

Some programs offer a “stackable” pathway — allowing you to earn a BSN along the way to your DNP.

Benefits of skipping the BSN include:

  • Saves time and money
  • Streamlined path to leadership
  • Ideal for experienced RNs ready for advanced practice

However, these programs are highly competitive and require strong academic performance and clinical readiness.
