Family Nurse Practitioner
Applications for fall 2013 admission are now being accepted.
The program is full for spring 2013.
The Family Nurse Practitioner Program is designed to prepare expert advanced practice primary care clinicians capable of providing care to families in primary care settings. The program builds on the undergraduate foundation and develops advanced assessment, planning and evidence-based competence through theoretical understanding and practical application to primary care practice.
Clinical expertise is acquired through clinical placements in a variety of public, private, and community-based primary care agencies. The FNP student will complete 800 hours of clinical practice in this 45 credit-hour program of study. In addition, the program provides a strong foundation for doctoral study and research.
