Family Nurse Practitioner (Distance)

The family nurse practitioner program track prepares the RN to care for individuals and families in a wide variety of health care settings, including clinics, community-based settings, long-term care facilities and hospitals. Family nurse practitioners (FNP's) are trained to provide a wide range of care to a diverse group of patients.

FNP's focus on health promotion and disease prevention, beginning in childhood and continuing throughout the aging process and are trained to diagnose and develop treatment plans for acute and chronic diseases.

The student’s area of study incorporates a blend of theory and research with an emphasis on guided practice in clinical areas. The required 600 hours of practicum work may be completed in the student’s own community (anywhere in the U.S., Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico). During the practicum, the student’s hands-on experiences are directly supervised by an approved local preceptor as well as a member of Graceland’s nursing faculty.
