The Master of Science in Nursing/Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) program gives you the skills to be a primary care provider for clients across ages in a variety of settings. The curriculum focuses on culturally sensitive care, incorporating health promotion and management of acute and chronic health problems. You will apply nursing theory, principles of advanced practice nursing and the research process in the design and delivery of primary care. Knowledge for advanced nursing practice is synthesized from concepts in nursing, as well as the biological and social sciences. As a graduate, you’ll be prepared to take a Family Nurse Practitioner national certification examination.
The MSN in Family Practioner easily segues into our Doctor of Nursing (DNP) program.
For those already holding an MSN, we also offer a Post-Master's Certificate in Family Nurse Practitioner. This graduate program focuses on primary care nursing and management of families experiencing health and wellness, or when experiencing common acute or common chronic illnesses. Upon completion of the specialization plan of study, you will be eligible to take the national certification examination for family nurse practitioner.
