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.
Frontier Nursing University’s Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) program allows you to specialize as a family nurse practitioner. Upon completing the MSN curriculum, you have the option to continue on to the Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) program at FNU.
