    Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) Certificate Program

    This certificate program is for individuals who currently have a Master’s in Nursing and want to obtain a certificate which will allow them to sit for the National Certification Examination as a Family Nurse Practitioner in order to practice in that capacity.  In addition, individuals who are nationally certified as ANP, PNP, GNP, CNM and WHNP may apply for this certificate program. Past education and current advanced practice experience will be considered in determining program requirements.

     

    This program will admit for the final time in fall 2013 due to the pending curriculum shift from MSN to DNP with the Family Nurse Practitioner concentration.  Additional questions may be directed to the program director named on our contact page or to nursingadmissions@unf.edu
