International College of Health Sciences is proud to announce the start of our first Master of Science in Nursing (MSN): Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) program. This program is offered to students who have a BSN and hold a Registered Nurse license.
The Family Nurse Practitioner Track prepares nurses for advanced primary care practice across the lifespan--from children to adult. The curriculum provides a strong scientific foundation for practicing in the current health care environment, teaches flexibility, and focuses on evidence-based practice and leadership.
"Family" in this case describes the NP’s chosen patient population focus. Just like a primary care physician, FNPs provide continuous, comprehensive care through disease management, health promotion, health education, and preventative health services. FNPs often co-manage the conditions of their patients with other specialists and provide case management for long-term illnesses and conditions. Their job duties include diagnosing illnesses and conditions, ordering and interpreting diagnostic tests, conducting examinations, providing counseling, and prescribing medications in many cases.
