Master of Science in Nursing – Family Nurse Practitioner Specialization

The Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) program with a Family Nurse Practitioner Specialization from the American Sentinel College of Nursing & Health Sciences at Post University provides the theory and training students could use to pursue opportunities in primary care. Core coursework covers primary care essentials, including assessment, prevention, diagnosis, and management of acute and chronic conditions. Preceptorship experiences help students apply online learnings to real-world primary care challenges.

If you have a BSN degree, one year of work experience, and are passionate about providing quality patient-focused care as a member of a healthcare team, our Family Nurse Practitioner Specialization may be for you.  We also consider up to 18 hours of MSN core coursework for transfer credit.

State Authorization, Licensure, and Disclosures

While the Master of Science in Nursing (Adult Gerontology Primary Care Nurse Practitioner, Family Nurse Practitioner, and Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner specializations) is not designed to fulfill licensure requirements in an individual state, the program may be used to partially fulfill licensure requirements.

Post University assists in researching and providing information regarding licensure; however, each state has different requirements for such licensure outside of the required education. Such state requirements may include licensure exams, background checks, certain work experience, and more. It is ultimately the responsibility of each student to manage their own licensure process and to ensure that all requirements are met in order for the student to obtain licensure. Post University does not speak on behalf of any licensing board or body and does not guarantee licensure. Requirements for licensure are subject to change without notice.
