What do Family Nurse Practitioners do?
Family Nurse Practitioners (FNPs) are advanced practice registered nurses who provide comprehensive primary and preventative healthcare to patients of all ages, from infancy to old age.
They assess, diagnose, and treat health conditions, prescribe medications, and educate patients on health promotion and disease prevention in various settings, including clinics, hospitals, and private practices.
To become an FNP, one typically needs a Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) and an RN license, followed by a Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) or Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) degree with an FNP focus, and then must pass a national certification exam.
