A Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) is an advanced practice nurse who manages the healthcare of individuals and their families by providing preventive and primary care, promoting health and wellbeing, and helping their patients manage chronic conditions. FNPs conduct routine checkups and assessments, order and interpret tests, make diagnoses, prescribe medications, and initiate and manage treatment plans for their patients.
If you are a registered nurse with an Associate Degree in Nursing (ADN) as your highest degree and have been in practice for at least one year, you can bypass a bachelor’s degree at FNU. In our ADN Bridge Entry Option, you will complete a series of courses over 12-months to prepare for a Master of Science in Nursing (MSN). This program is designed for registered nurses who do not have a bachelor’s degree in any field. Upon completing the MSN curriculum, you have the option to transition to the Companion Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) program via a direct admission process.
