Introduction
Become the primary healthcare provider to your patients. The online MSN Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) degree from Rivier University teaches you how to focus on the health and well-being of the whole person, so you can fill one of the most vital and in-demand roles in the country.
As an FNP, you'll diagnose and treat your patients' medical problems and prescribe medications, as well as act as a researcher, educator, and counselor in service to your patients' care.
Coursework prepares you to deliver the full scope of primary care to patients within many healthcare settings. Topics include advanced theory and clinical nursing topics such as pathophysiology, health assessment, family nursing theory, quality healthcare improvement, health policy, and evidence-based practice.
Professors with real-world experience help you apply what you're learning to real-world challenges so you're prepared to overcome them. You'll engage with them and your peers in courses that are intentionally kept small, focusing on powerful dialogue that expands on course content and enriches your learning experience.
Graduate ready to function in an advanced practice role and be able to influence health policy as a nurse leader and patient advocate.
