Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP)

Long before you ever officially decided to be a nurse, you had it in you. You had the blend of compassion and science needed to change lives. With each patient and each day, you’ve grown. And now it’s time to take the next career step. Become a Family Nurse Practitioner.

You’ll specialize in the highest-need and broadest population -- primary care of individuals and families. You’ll care for patients as young as infants, across the lifespan, to empowering the elderly to manage their health. And while you’re at it, you will be in high demand, especially considering the growing need for primary care in clinics, work places, and communities.
