| Family Nurse Practitioner |  |
| The role of nurse practitioner specializing in Family Nursing is offered at the University of South Alabama College of Nursing. The MSN program prepares graduates for certification as an FNP and for doctoral study. Graduates of the program are able to synthesize and apply advanced knowledge, theories, and research to a specialized area of nursing practice and function as leaders in practice to contribute to the advancement of the nursing profession. | |
A common core of courses are offered online including concepts, theory, research, and issues related to advanced nursing practice. The FNP Program requires 2 to 3 orientation days on-campus prior to students enrolling in clinical courses. Clinical requirements can usually be completed with preceptors in the students’ home community. Students may be required to return to campus at the end of fall, spring, and summer semesters for a final exam and orientation to the next semester. |
