Master of Science in Nursing – Family Nurse Practitioner Program
As registered nurses with an advanced clinical education, family nurse practitioners (FNPs) play a critical role in improving the patient care experience. FNPs partner with families across their lifespan to promote preventative care, diagnose conditions, and treat acute and chronic illnesses. Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) students who pursue the Family Nurse Practitioner role specialty will learn to apply critical thinking; use data to evaluate health outcomes; and provide ethical, patient-centered care.
