Family Nurse Practitioner

What is a Family Nurse Practitioner?
A Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) is an advanced practice nurse, licensed as an Advanced Registered Nurse Practitioner (ARNP), that provides high-quality healthcare services similar to those of a medical doctor practicing family medicine.

How are Family Nurse Practitioners educated?
FNPs have graduate, advanced education and clinical training in primary family healthcare beyond their registered nurse preparation. They have either a master’s or doctorate degree.
