The Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) specialty emphasizes the primary care of newborns, infants, children, adolescents, adults, pregnant and postpartum women, and older adults within the context of family-centered care. <br>Choosing to become a FNP means dedicating one's life to caring for both well and ill individuals across the lifespan. Much of what FNP's do is centered around holistic, family-centered care, promoting health and wellness to infants, children, adolescents, adults, and older adults. They are equipped to provide comprehensive care to individuals of all ages, races, genders, and ethnicities in the primary care setting. Classroom and clinical teachings are evidence-based and focus on the most current and relevant research findings. Clinical practice is integrated throughout the program, with focus on primary care, pediatrics, community health and underserved populations. Clinical rotations bring to life the didactic curriculum where students immerse themselves in medical cases and treatment plans. Weekly clinical conferences allow students to reflect on their clinical days and learn from other students and experienced faculty. Upon graduation, eligible FNP students are able sit for board certification through the American Nurses Credentialing Center (ANCC) or American Academy of Nurse Practitioners (AANP) certifying boards.
