Post-Master’s Certificate: Family Nurse Practitioner

Earn your post-master’s certificate and gain the advanced practice experience you need to be a family nurse practitioner (FNP). FNPs provide care to patients across the life span from infancy to the end of life, focusing on health promotion and disease prevention.

You’ll manage patients who:

• Have episodic illness and injury
• Need chronic disease management
• Require palliative or end-of-life care

The FNP curriculum prepares students to manage medically and psychologically stable patients and to identify, diagnose and refer patients experiencing sudden or progressive deterioration.

Where FNPs work

• Primary care clinics and offices
• Hospitals
• Urgent care centers
• Home health agencies
• Long-term care facilities
• School-based health centers
• Community health centers
• Occupational health clinics
