The Master of Science in Nursing: Family Nurse Practitioner program prepares experienced professional nurses for advanced practice as primary care providers. The family nurse practitioner program (FNP) prepares learners to make independent critical decisions in all levels of prevention, including health promotion; illness prevention; and diagnosis and management for individuals, families, communities, and populations. The FNP learner performs comprehensive health assessments, implements diagnosis and disease management, and prescribes pharmacologic and nonpharmacologic treatments to manage acute and chronic health problems to achieve quality, cost- effective outcomes in a culturally sensitive environment. The FNP program equips students to take on roles that involve educating, consulting, collaborating, applying evidence-based practices for clinical decision-making, and influencing both professional and public policies. Within various practice settings, the FNP learner provides health care for clients across the life span. This program includes 750 hours of directly supervised clinical practice with qualified preceptors and two separate on- campus experiences. A post-master's certificate program is available to those nurses who already have a Master of Science in Nursing degree. The Master of Science in Nursing: Family Nurse Practitioner program is designed to meet current professional standards including but not limited to: American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN): The Essentials of Masterβs Education in Nursing (AACN, 2011).
